Notes:
- General - The term "series" refers to a new numbering sequence and are differentiated using Roman numerals. The dates used for strips that contained only strip numbers (prior to 2/16/58) are the dates these strips ran in most newspapers. Some newspapers ran the strips several months behind. The sub-strip only appeared in tabloid format papers.
- (A) - The sub-strip was dropped after Sunday strip number 380 with the final storyline left unresolved. Three fan-produced strips written by Eugene Seger and drawn by Bud Gordinier were created in 2001 (and published in 2004) to finish the story.

Famous quotes containing the words original, series, sunday, story and/or guide:
“An original is a creation
motivated by desire.
Any reproduction of an original
is motivated by necessity ...
It is marvelous that we are
the only species that creates
gratuitous forms.
To create is divine, to reproduce
is human.”
—Man Ray (1890–1976)

“We may be scum, but at least we’re la crème de la scum.”

—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“The office of the scholar is to cheer, to raise, and to guide men by showing them facts amidst appearances. He plies the slow, unhonored, and unpaid task of observation.... He is the world’s eye.”
