At this point in time, Kelly's Sunday strip backgrounds were simple, if at all. The character drawings were still strong and flexible (as demonstrated by Howland's pitching technique). In this strip, the colors were nicely varied and attractive, with even the printers finally delivering a page in virtually perfect registration.
