Notes: Page 65-70 reprints daily strips presenting the Iran-Scam puzzle. The puzzle is shown almost solved on page 71; but this latter never was a daily (nor Sunday) strip.

Garry Trudeau acknowledged employing Don Carlton as inker of Doonesbury (Alter 1990). 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).
