Comment:
We have never seen any dailies after May 1952 published in newspapers of the time, and later strips may thus only exist as proofs. Our book contains the full run Jan 15, 1951  July 19, 1952 scanned from proofs, bar the next to last week (July 7-12,1952) which sadly seems to be irretrievably lost.
