Notes: Identification by historian David Gerstein. Previous conjecture was art might have been by Roger Armstrong but this story has Sniffles nearly as tall as Porky, a mistake Craig made while Armstrong knew the character was mouse sized. He believes the script is presumably by Craig so I put in a question mark for that.

The Feature Logo for this story is "Sniffles (with Mary Jane)". This is the only time that logo was used.

Notes: According to information in Michael Barrier's book Funnybooks The Improbable Glories of the Best American Comics Roger Armstrong recalled drawing a Porky Pig story in this issue. Historian David Gerstein based on artstyle differences sees this the most likely one done by Armstrong.

The Feature Logo for this story is "Adventures of Porky". This is the only time that logo was used.
