Indexer Notes

It's a toss-up between Gaylord Du Bois and John Stanley as the writer of this entry. The fact that, throughout the story, characters exclaim "YEOW!" (and once "Yeeow!"), rather than Stanley's trademark "YOW!", pushes it toward Du Bois.

Indexer Notes

Back cover displays two yellow strips across its width. The strips are each 1.5 inches high and are placed at the very top and the very bottom of the back cover. Within these strips are floating heads of the characters seen in the issue. The remaining back cover space in the center is left blank to contain the name and logo of the business using the comic as a promotional item.
