List of “Doonesbury books by G. B. Trudeau” ends with And That’s My Final Offer! List of “In Large Format” books ends with Doonesbury’s Greatest Hits.

Story continues from A Tad Overweight, but Violet Eyes to Die For (A Doonesbury Book) (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1980 series). Story continues in He’s Never Heard of You, Either (A Doonesbury Book)(Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1981 series).

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.

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).
