Quotes
Errors
- While the art keeps our heroes Joseph and Walter consistent (Joseph has dark hair and mutton chops, silver-haired Walter has a mustache), the script does not do them such favors. On page four, North refers to them as "Joseph Simmons" and "Walter Wells", and on the following page, Joseph mispronounces "Witwicky" as "Wickety", just as Seymour Simmons did in the first movie, a joke to seemingly prove the two characters' relation. From page eight onward, however, the pair's surnames are switched, and the whole story becomes framed by excerpts from the journal of "Walter Simmons", indicating that he is actually supposed to be the Simmons in this story.
- Compounding the problem, on page fourteen, Arden refers to "Wells" as "the fat one", but Walter is the plumper of the two (yet not so noticeably as to be a defining feature).
- John Barber's continuity notes at the end of the issue confirm that Walter is Simmons, but give Wells's name as "Theodore"!
