Disclose Notes: Mort Drucker art credits by Joe Torcivia. October 2019. Previous indexer listed Owen Fitzgerald. The presence of many “little gags” unrelated to the main plot (kids, mice, man-chasing-a-lawnmower, etc.), and that the art style is similar to the “Kids” panel cartoons in this issue, a feature signed by Drucker, indicate the Bob Hope art is by Mort Drucker.
