    "notes": "Reprints 124 daily newspaper comics strips originally published between July 4th, 1977, and January 7th, 1978.\r\n\r\nGarry 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.\r\n\r\nContinued from Stalking the Perfect Tan (A Doonesbury Book) (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1978 series) #[nn].  Continues in \"But the Pension Fund Was Just Sitting There\" (A Doonesbury Book) (Henry Holt and Co., 1979 series) #[nn].\r\n\r\nFirst Printing September 1978. Second Printing January 1979.\r\n \r\nIn later printings the format changes to 6.125 in. × 8.25 in. paperbacks, with new cover art, subtitled A Doonesbury Classic. Later printings of that format would be published under the Owl Books imprint.\r\n\r\nList of \"Doonesbury books by G. B. Trudeau\" ends with *\"Any Grooming Hints for Your Fans, Rollie?\"*\r\n\r\nThe on-sale date is the publication date reported in the U. S.
