Story Notes
Edmond Good is credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, also by an art sample by these two artists. Same art as here. The heads with a kink in the neck, and grinning in sideview are very like the art of some Lance O'Casey stories and original art credited to him in Whiz Comics #134 and #136.

Round eyes with short lines in the outer corners are very typical Anderson, so probably his work.

Story Notes
