Cousin Asphalt bears similarities to the character of Veronica's Cousin Leroy, who had been introduced by Bob Montana in the Archie newspaper strip on August 7, 1949 but had yet to appear in the comic books. He also bears a personality resemblance to Red Skelton's "Mean Widdle Kid". Art previously thought to be Tom Moore; it more closely resembles Frese's work.
