Job Number: P.P. #44-561
Disclose Notes: Don R. Christensen's original title: "Mistook for Martians", from his notes. The two lead rocket scientists are drawn by Fred Abranz to look more realistic than his more typical cartoony humans, such as the cowboys and desert bandits. They are very likely caricatures of actual persons.
