| Super nice Reed Crandall "Ray" story. |
|
| If thats Reed Crandall, hes gone out of his way to emulate Lou Fine! |
|
| The quality of the draftsmanship throughout seems to me to be far better than some of the stories deserve. ;) If I had to draw the Jester I would really be regretting all those polka dots and stripes! |
