Notes:
Ad for military emblem rings and other products from Mark Jewelers. Color ad on inside front cover.
Notes:
Michael Maltese wrote a Snooper and Blabber cartoon for Hanna-Barbera (“Masquerader Raider”) as part of the Quick Draw McGraw Show (1959-1962) with a villain called “Quick-Change Quentin”, who performed in exactly the same way. Spinning in a circle to change his appearance. That the story appeared during the period when Maltese returned to Western Publishing from animation writing, makes a very strong case for Maltese as the author of this story.

14 different Peanuts "hand painted plastic pin-ons" are advertised. One illustration of Snoopy (probably not by Charles Schulz) and photos of the 14 pins. Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus are seen as pins. Between pages 3 and 4 of previous story.
Notes:
Story Credit: Michael Maltese wrote a Quick Draw McGraw cartoon for Hanna-Barbera (“Elephant Boy Oh Boy”) in which a "travelin' show elephant" took a similar misplaced-liking to Quick Draw, causing the expected complications. The story's dialogue also has a "Maltese-feel" to it, similar to his cartoons. Along with this story appearing during the period when Maltese returned to Western Publishing from animation writing, a good case is made for Maltese as the author of this story.
