Editor(s): Don Hutter (uncredited, see notes)
Disclose Notes: Reprints 124 daily newspaper comics strips originally published between July 4th 1977 and January 7th 1978.

Garry Trudeau’s original editor at Holt, circa 1972, was Don Hutter (Walker 2010, 128). And Trudeau’s editor in 1981 was Hutter (Walker 2010, 95), until Hutter left the position (New York Times 1981). GCD’s editing credit reflects the assumption that Hutter was Trudeau’s editor at Holt continuously between 1972 and 1981.

Dimensions of first printing are 5⅛” × 7⅞”. List of “Doonesbury books by G. B. Trudeau” ends with “Any Grooming Hints for Your Fans, Rollie?”.

The on-sale date is the publication date reported in the U. S. Copyright Office filing.

Disclose Notes: Garry Trudeau acknowledged employing Don Carlton as inker of Doonesbury (Alter 1990). Carlton’s association with Trudeau began in the early 1970s, and his responsibilities grew to include lettering of the strip. The association endured for decades (Walker 2010, 30–31).
