Notes
Reprints 124 daily newspaper comics strips originally published between December 27th 1971 and June 27th 1972.
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. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Reference:
