David Stanford left Holt in 1988, “just as [Garry] Trudeau’s book contract ran out” (Walker 2010, 96). While Stanford would go on to edit later Doonesbury books from another publisher, it is not clear that his run as editor of Doonesbury books was uninterrupted, nor is it clear whether he edited this particular title.

Notes: 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).
