Disclose Notes: Some heads in 3/4 backview with streched neck and the jawbone going back behind the ear point to Tirman, as on page 4 and 5, but the short figures and some heads in sideview could be Quackenbush. Also the fist fight on page 4 points to him. He is credited on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who for 1944-46.
