Notes:
Only appearance.
Feature probably created by Will Eisner.
Bill Bydem is a by-line and not the name of a real person according to the Who's Who. However, the writer now listed suggested by the Who's Who......re-arrange "Byden" and you get "Demby", who Busy Arnold said was on his staff.
The Who's Who credits Bill Bossert as the artist, but the art is NOT comparable to Bossert's other features.
