A study of Mullin's original artwork reveals that the cartoonist first sketched his drawing, very loosely but with intent, in pencil and then utilized very spontaneously applied, inked brushwork. Pen and ink was used as well, particularly to render text, and grays added to the pebbled coquille board by the use of conte crayon. The usual whited-out, corrected areas can be found in Mullin originals, though usually only to clarify a line.
