Notes: The lone illustration at the top of this text story is expanded, both upward and downward, to compensate for the space in the original printing that was reserved for the indicia at the bottom of the first page. The added area at top consists of blank space. The added area at bottom extends (elongates) the illustration of Heckle, Jeckle, and Dimwit with additional pencil and ink art. For this reprint, the illustration is also in color - as it was in black and white in its original printing. The text is black typeset lettering over a yellow backing.
