On "our" ftp site we have a list of MM newspaper strips. It starts like this:

The artist's abbreviations are explained in another file. WD = Disney,
UI = Iwerks, WS = Smith, FG = Gottfredson, HG = Gramatky, ED = Duvall.

The information is from that same book "MM in color" that you are referring
to.
