Story Notes
Originally credited to Red Holmdale, but has none of the crude faces found in his signed story in #31. The best other choice of credited artists on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, must be Schwartz. He drew Archie and Jughead, and the girl's face with round eyes and heavy lashes on the outer rim, and also leg movement when running on page 4, have similarities to his drawings in Archie.
