Notes:
When noting, as they do in the first line, that they are a family of four, the Road Runners are forgetting their (presumably ret-conned out) mother “Matilda”, who appeared in the first few Dell issues of the Beep Beep the Road Runner title, as well as in the 1960s Gold Key reprints of those same issues. Even in this text story, the Road Runners maintain their comic-book tradition of rhyming dialogue.
Notes:
14 different Peanuts "hand painted plastic pin-ons" are advertised by Gandalf Products Co. One illustration of Snoopy (probably not by Charles Schulz) and photos of the 14 pins. Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus are seen as pins.
Notes:
This story is reminiscent of bits that Michael Maltese had done in his early 1960s animation writing for Hanna-Barbera's Snagglepuss. Given that Maltese had returned to write for Western Publishing at this time, as his animation writing work wound down, he is a likely candidate as this story’s author.
Notes:
Massimo Fecchi art credit from the book “American Funny Animal Comics in the 20th Century Volume One” by Alberto Becattini, page 223. Becattini cites Fecchi as the artist of “Music to Grow Gardens By” in Bugs Bunny (Western, 1962 Series) #144. The art style there is the same as in this story.
