Page #3: This may or may not be of interest, but Al & Al were loosely based upon and named after an old high skool friend, who became a rather better truck driver than the Gopher delivery service… Al’s voice sounded a lot like, Jim Jordan, of the old-time radio show, “Fibber McGee and Molly,” which is how I hear the Gopher’s voices in my head…

Pretty sure that’s Cutey and Tubbins making a cameo in the upper right hand panel. (Rabbit radar strikes again!)
Not just Cutey and Tubbins, Bill. I’m pretty sure that’s Krizz and Cap’n Connie-O of the Decatur on the right side of the same panel.
