Well, after having checked the inking on his Uncle Remus sundays and
compared it with Murrys good girl art cartoons: 
I believe that the inking was made by the very same person who inked Murrys
gag cartoons. 
I believe that Murry did ink his gag cartoons himself. Or did he?
However, *the very last one* of Murrys Uncle Remus sundays is definitely
inked by Dick Moores. 
His inking style is so distinct that it's easy to tell the difference. 
But it seems that most people says that Moores inked the whole run of Murrys
Uncle Remus sundays. 
So my question is does anyone have proof that he did? Or is this "fact" only
based on the quote above?
Murry might well have misremembered what he did some 35-40 years ago. 

Anyone who knows for sure? 
Or that has a scource for the statement about Moores inking all of Uncle
Remus?

Cheers!
