   This strip was February 8, 1988, so after the affair came to light. Hart had exited the race after the scandal, but re-entered in December 1987, but then performed poorly in the primaries.

    Thanks for the link. That’s extra frustrating. I had just assumed they were low-resolution scans due to the age of the originals, but I don’t understand why they are posting low quality ones if better scans already exist.
