Comments:
The last Sunday we have seen published in a newspaper is August 24, 1952 (later pages likely only exist as black & white proofs). Neither have we found any published complete Sundays in newspapers from 1952, only the cropped versions (which were used by many if not most newspapers) with 1/3 of the artwork deleted, corresponding to 4 missing panels.
Our book contains the full run of Sundays. They are all scanned from proofs, with the following exceptions which have been restored from newspaper tearsheets:
1951: 12/16, 12/30
1952: 1/20, 2/3, 5/4, 6/8–7/6, 8/10–8/24
This means that a mere 13 Sundays out of 100 are not scanned from excellent quality proofs, but the 11 tearsheet Sundays from 1952 are sadly all the cropped version. Need I mention that we too would love to see the complete versions of these Sundays?
