Notes:
Garry Trudeau was assisted by inker Don Carlton (Alter 1990, 66). 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). Since 2008, the strip has been lettered using a custom computer font based on Carlton’s hand-lettering (Walker 2010, 241).
In 2001, George Corsillo became the regular colorist of Doonesbury Sunday strips (Walker 2010, 183). As of July 2016, Corsillo was continuing to color Sundays (Sepulveda 2016).
