Notes:
Many of the strips reprinted include generally sequential codes from about 78-D to about 211-D, but only 108 out of these 134 strips are included. The story of Blue Nose and Thorn-Apple ran from October 1946 to January 1947. This reprint appears to start about a month prior to that story-line. These strips don't seem to have been published in Australian newspapers.
