I / High Tides and Greener Grass

Story on Interior Page(s) from base issue

Subject Matter

Feature(s): Doonesbury

Reprinting

Reprint Notes: from Doonesbury daily (Universal Press Syndicate) 1970-XX-XX – 1972(?)-XX-XX

Miscellaneous

Pages: 24

Notes: This section includes daily strips previously collected in Still a Few Bugs in the System (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1972), The President Is a Lot Smarter Than You Think (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1973), and But This War Had Such Promise (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1973).

Garry Trudeau acknowledged employing Don Carlton as inker of Doonesbury (Alter 1990). Newspaper publication of Carlton’s work began “in early December [1971]”; Carlton initially lettered the strip for only a few weeks before Trudeau resumed lettering the strip. After about a year of Carlton inks and Trudeau letters, Trudeau again delegated lettering to Carlton, and the arrangement endured for decades (Walker 2010, 30–31). GCD’s inks and letters credits reflect that the period covered by this chapter appears to cover the initial period before Carlton’s involvement; the brief early period when Trudeau wrote and penciled, and Carlton lettered and inked the strip; and the beginning of the period when Trudeau wrote, penciled, and lettered, and Carlton inked the strip.
