| The art is rather good, though the super-thick outlines are odd. However Roy and Peppe make Jackie Gleason look downright ugly--not that he was any great shakes to look at anyway.
It took me a moment to catch on to Norton being bandaged in the first story. Apparently St John didn't have clearance to use any other likenesses from "The Honeymooners" than Gleason's. Note how we never see Alice's face either. |

| Notes | Evidently, only Jackie Gleason gave permission for his likeness to be used in this comic; Norton
(Art Carney) is seen with his face covered with bandages while Alice (Audrey Meadows) is shown
only from the back. (The indicia states, "No similarity between any of the names, characters,
persons and/or institutions, other than Jackie Gleason, appearing in this magazine and those of
any living or dead person or institution is intended and any similarity which may exist is
purely coincidental.") |
