Vince Colletta had a long run of inking Kirby’s Thor, but in his rush to finish an assignment he would sometimes cut corners. Which he didn’t apparently do on this interior splash page.
Bill Everett inked some issues of Thor. This page makes for a good comparison.

For the second time in a week, Blondie and Dustin, both King Features strips, are featuring the same thing. Last time was vending machines, this time it’s ice cream sandwiches. It’s important that I keep up with these things in retirement!

June 25 will mark five years since the passing of Joe Sinnott. I was fourteen when I first read an interview with Joe. It was conducted by Mark Evanier and Tony Isabella (now preferring to be called Jenny Blake), and published in Marvelmania No. 4.
Here’s the original published format, suitable for widescreen viewing.
An brief bio is in the same issue, with Joe sharing space with bad boy Sci-Fi writer Harlan Ellison.
