Notes: The lower left panel is a closeup of a newspaper article the kid is reading. Below the article of interest, the newsprint is just vaguely letter-like gibberish -- except that one can make out the phrase, "Director of the Museum, Russell D. Heath" and below that a ways, "E. H. Hart, well know writer."
