Notes
Script, pencils, and inks credits for this sequence from Alberto Becattini (May 14, 2007), who erroneously credits the script to Gaylord Du Bois. The only Johnny Mack entry in Du Bois's Account Books is a 32p. story, which tallies with "Tenderfoot Trouble" in JMB#2. That story's content bears Du Bois distinctives, while this script does not. Did Paul S. Newman write this? Du Bois didn't. Discredit of erroneous script attribution is provided by David Porta (November 1, 2018).
