Previous indexer credited “Pencils” as “Art Bartsch (signed)”. Comparing this story with the “Art Bartsch (signed)” story at Sequence 2, the two styles differ widely – and this story is not “signed”. This story is clearly the uncredited work of noted, fan-favorite animator Jim Tyer, drawn in Tyer's loose, wild style. While Connie Razinski and Art Bartsch often signed their work in these comics, it appears that Jim Tyer did not – despite his exhibiting a very unique and recognizable style.
