Indexer Notes

The ending blurb promotes the continuation of this story in Betty And Me #197, but the story, titled "Buckin' Blonde Bronco" in the blurb, doesn't appear in that issue. It is unknown where the story does appear, if it appears at all.

When reprinted in B&V Friends Double Digest (Archie, 2011 series) #237, writing is credited to Bob Bolling and inks are credited to Al Milgrom.
