Disclose Notes: Although this story is signed by Raboy, only the first five pages are by him. Anderson takes over the rest, which can be easily seen by the faces with more lines than Raboy's very "economic" use of lines. He never makes more than necessary, while Anderson have some short inklines under the outer corner of the eyes, and also his special mouth with two lines that don't meet in the middle. Also the sleek Raboy-figure of Green Lama is missing in these pages, he is not as long legged as his. The faces on the last page gives Anderson most away, with round eyes, very thin eyebrows higher up than Raboy, and those peculiar small lines under the outer eye corners. No two-lined mouth here, since everybody are smiling. Compare with the signed Anderson story in "Mr. Scarlet and Pinky", Wow Comics #34. Anderson is credited on Green Lama by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, but none credits are found on any of the Green Lama features.
