Behind the scenes

• The first panel on page 15 is copied from a 19th century drawing of Fleet River, available here.
• The story codes CR-225/B-74 in the credits box indicates that it is the 225th story written by Claes Reimerthi and the 74th story drawn by Heiner Bade. This practice of indicating the creators by initials and a serial number on the first page is still used on some comic strips produced in Sweden, but was abandoned rather quickly for "The Phantom". It only made a brief comeback in 2012.
