No, not even the author can say for sure. I might have meant that to be
Fulton, whom I had already shown to be one of the original 3 Junior
Woodchucks of 1902 (in my "Lo$"), so while penciling I might have just
decided to add him as an appropriate member of the Woodchuck Senior Council.
And I would not necessarily have put a nameplate in front of him since I try
my best to never use background signage in my comics whenever I can avoid it
(due to the good chance that I will again be embarrassed by the signs or
nameplates being left BLANK by careless publishers!).
So... okay, let's say that's Fulton. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
