COMMENTS:

Later, Strobl recalled the script he was handed: It had a fantastic layout and I hardly needed to do any preliminary sketches, just trace.

Strobl rarely did any inking in his countless stories, although he is frequently perceived as an inker. Instead he churned out fine pencilled sketches, which several other artists would ink. (See more HERE.)
