List of “Doonesbury books by G. B. Trudeau” ends with Call Me When You Find America.

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: Garry Trudeau acknowledged employing Don Carlton as inker of Doonesbury (Alter 1990). There was a period in the early 1970s lasting about a year during which Trudeau lettered the strip and Don Carlton inked it (Walker 2010, 30). GCD’s credits reflect that the time period covered by this volume appears to begin and end during the time that Trudeau lettered and Carlton inked.
