A collaborative effort between myself and Greg Bear. We both took turns writing the verses, sending the story back and forth through the mail (yeah, this was before email, youngsters) until it was complete. Credits appear on the final page, but I would like to mention up front that these are Greg's inks & finishes over my pencils. Greg did some great ad-lib artwork as well, like the possums in the first panel.

His real name, BTW, is Greg Spagnola -- which I recall from my Vootie days. He never cared for that name so he started calling himself Greg Bear (I think he may have even legally changed his name to Bear). And, yes, people often confuse him with the Sci-Fi author of the same name.
Schirm told me Greg passed away about 2018, I hadn't corresponded with him since the late 1980s. Going through some old papers, I found a four inch stack of letters and drawings by him I'm scanning and posting on a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/565298181180926.
