Crespo left early on, and Will Blyberg took over inking, while other pencilers included: Gary Fields, Kyle Baker, (who did his own inking) a South American known only as "Rodrigues", Tim Harkins, Vince Giarrano, and Scott Roberts (the only contributor to both write and draw the strip.)
In all, 130 newspapers carried the comic strip at some point during its run, in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and Canada.
Scott Gray and Tim Harkins created two special strips for Mott's Flavored Applesauce, single-serving.
Occasional comic strips conflict with the continuity of the television series, reintroducing characters in different scenarios, but some take plotlines from episodes.
For the weeks of November 26 to December 9, 2000, the strips were themed to the feature film Rugrats in Paris: The Movie.
