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.

Notes: Much of this material reprinted in a different format in The President Is a Lot Smarter Than You Think (A Doonesbury Book) (Popular Library, 1973 Series) #[nn] and Don’t Ever Change, Boopsie (A Doonesbury Book) (Popular Library, 1973 Series) #[nn].

Garry Trudeau was assisted by inker Don Carlton (Alter 1990, 66). Newspaper publication of Carlton’s work began “in early December [1971]”; Carlton also lettered the strip for the first few weeks that he inked it, as well as for a later, decades-long run (Walker 2010, 30–31). GCD’s inks and letters credits reflect that the time period covered by this volume appears to begin during the early period in which Trudeau inked and lettered, and end during the “few weeks” of Carlton’s initial inking and lettering stint.
