Disclose Notes: "Reprinted by popular demand". Maltese often wrote Woody Woodpecker for Dell and Gold Key Comics, wrote many cartoons about fleas, and the plot runs toward cartoon-gaggy, making him a likely candidate for writer. Story is interrupted between pages 8 and 9 for four Gold Key Comics Club/advertising centerfold pages.
