So they were made almost at the same time as the Fethry stories drawn
by Al Hubbard for the foreign market!  (Strobl did lots of S-coded
Fethrys later on here.)  So now I don't know who the first artist on
Fethry was, something I thought I knew just a couple of days ago.

He only has a small part (one page), and there's nothing strange about
his speech at all.

Sure, I have #510 too.  I remember being very disappointed in getting
a D-coded story when subscribing to American books.  There were enough
of those in the Swedish books.

I haven't the faintest.  It's not in any of the last Whitman WDC's
though, so it must have been in some other title.
