Disclose Notes: Art shares mores similarities with the Beebo stories Froehlich is credited with penciling from Shadow Comics #22-24 (1943) than Binder’s stories from Shadow Comics #30-31 (1943), including how the faces and ears are drawn. Binder also tends to draw close-ups of characters’ faces, whereas Froehlich focuses less on close-ups in favor of letting the story express itself more through the scenery.
