The dates used for strips that contained only strip numbers (prior to 9/16/46) are the dates these strips ran in most newspapers. Some newspapers ran the strips several months behind. At different points in the strip's run "extra" individual strips or week of strips were run that ran in a limited number of papers. In some cases, entire "series" of strips were dropped by papers in order to synch up with the rest.
