Hello Allan-
It would seem that Smilin' Jack was only offered as a half and half tab size. I knew Mosely, that is, as a young corresponding fan. He was assembling some reprint collections, using his own file of original proofs in the late 1970's, and I asked him why the Sundays were only in that size. He said that's all there ever was.
I forget the reason he gave; he would tend to prefer to kid around rather than bore himself with retelling dull facts, but my guess is that though it was a long running member of the Trib/News line up, SJ had nowhere near the popularity of their other action adventure series, and so with a small client list, maybe it wasn't worth the extra syndicate production.
Mosely would end his letters with the farewell, "CAVU" (which was pilot argot for "Ceiling And Visibility Unlimited.")
