Art identification based on the Green Mask art attributed to Stoner from earlier in the issue, which both share details such as wide smiles showing the front teeth, spiky star-esque circles used to convey someone getting hit, the way smoke is drawn, hairstyles curling at the front, and the way windows are shaded.
