Pay attention, Giuseppe and such has been separated from the list under headline Miscs.
The stories listed here in the chronology are distributed across the three “publishing groups” for which Jac worked
longer (Franco Bellacci comicography was divided in four parts, here they are combined as one):
- AVE/EDI.PER (“Il Vittorioso” and its retinue “Vitt”; books, almanacs, “Diario Vitt”)
- “Corriere della Sera” (“Corriere dei Piccoli”, “Corriere dei Ragazzi”)
- Soc. Ed. Lombarda/SEGISA (“Il Giorno”, “Il Giorno del Lunedì”, “Il Giorno dei Ragazzi”, “Il Giorno della Donna”)
- And a group of various other publications
For the untitled stories [in square brackets] the title is suggested by the character protagonist and the topic of the story. The unsure date is presented in square brackets.

Abbreviation:
- [Hachette] = Cocco Bill [Hachette] (2017-2019) aka Cocco Bill e il meglio di Jacovitti
- Re, or rist. = ristampa (reprint)
- Anastatic printing: (From Anastasis, resuscitation, raising up again): This process for producing copies of manuscript, or printed documents, or engravings, that can with difficulty be detecte from the originals, was invented by M. Baldermus, at Erfurt about 1841. It was soon after made public and Faraday explained the process at the Royal Institution, April 25, 1845. It has since transpired that a similar process had been employed in England some time before M. Baldermus’s invention was made known. The invention was improved and extended by Strickland and Delamotte in 1848. The process is analgous to lithography, but a zinc plate is employed instead of a stone. A printed page, an engraving, or a blank note may be exactly copied by this invention. Moisten the printed paper with dilute phosphoric acid, lay it downwards on a clean sheet of zinc, and put it into a press for a short time. The acid of the unprinted parts etches the zinc beneath, while the printed part also sets off on the zinc, and thus produces a reverse copy of the printing. Wash the plate with an acid solution of gum, and it will be ready for use. The plate may now be treated as the stone in lithographic printing; first damped and then rolled. The affinity of the ink to the letters already “set off” on the plate, and the repulsion of the other parts of the plate, cause the lines of the device to take the ink, but the other parts remain clean; the printing then follows.—See “A brief Description of the Art of Anastatic Printing, with illustrative specimens and full directions.” By S. H. Cowell. Ipswich: 1868.
- Forced = The order of the frames from the original print has been reordered according a new dimension of the page
- A. = Albo = Book
- AVE = AVE
- Serie di Giraffone, or A. [di] Giraffone = Albi del Vittorioso, Serie di Giraffone
- Serie di Pippo, A. [di] Pippo = Gli Albi del Vittorioso, Serie di Pippo
BTW,
- Pippo could be translated as Goofy
- Cocco Bill could be translated as Coconut Bill
- Chicchirì, or Chicchirichi could be translated as Cock-a-Doodle-Dooooo, or a chatty person
The letterers and colorists:
- Baby Tarallo (the first episode) was lettered by Benito Jacovitti. [Source: Jacovitti. Sessant’anni di surrealismo a fumetti, 2010, pg 117]
- The other comics (starting from 1949? till ??) were lettered and colored by two Castellari brothers, Alfonso and Lorenzo (according Benito Jacovitti’s instructions). [Source: Jacovitti. Sessant’anni di surrealismo a fumetti, 2010, pg 117]
