Disclose Notes: Not sure if artist Papp modeled the cartoonist in this tale after himself. No photo of Papp is known to exist.

KC - This is no longer true: . Given the age difference, there is a certain resemblance between the photo and Hal Harvey's image, most noticeably on panel four of page three.
