Johnny Johnsen is the background artist. The version of the cartoon in circulation is a re-issue and without a writer credit.

  1. Would this have anything to do with that missing piece I've noticed in "NORTHWEST HOUNDED POLICE" that has something to do with writing on the wall or the WANTED poster for ol' Wolfie? I thought that the gag might have had its start in "DUMB HOUNDED".
