The policeman makes me think of a slimmed-down Goon too, Pete! I like the following picture, which reminds me somewhat of the Five Have a Wonderful Time cover. Assuming this Betty Maxey is the one who illustrated the Knight Famous Five books, I can only imagine she was being paid rather more generously for the Franklin Library O. Henry internals than for the Knight Famous Five ones! Or maybe Knight requested a pared down, sketchy style!

That can't be a Betty Maxey illustration. It's got a background. :shock: :wink:
