Notes: Mr. De Sève “had an artist friend help him design the background” of the cover (Walker 2010, 100). Mr. Walker’s reporting on this cover is less than explicit, leaving open the possibility that the inked figures were colored by someone other than Mr. De Sève.

Notes: Garry Trudeau was assisted by inker Don Carlton (Alter 1990, 66). 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).
