Indexer Notes
Carlson can be recognized by his horses with rather long, narrow tapering heads, like a sea horse, and especially by his way of drawing the legs of horses. In panel four on page one, notice the outstretched front legs of the brown horse, almost standing like a rocking horse.
Art was originally credited to Ken Battefield.
