- Panel 1: I wonder what that book is. I couldn't find a book in the car in Issue 56, so your guess is as good as mine.

- Panel 2: Note that the Umbrella Fellow is missing the same arm that Bill Hunter is. Also note the sad look that Umbrella Fellow gives Bill on Page 3, Panel 1. The "Captain" is "Captain Wobbly."

- Panel 1-3: From these panels, I think it's safe to infer that Holly was previously involved with a married man and, in fact, had his child- Cyril, and that she's pregnant again by Lloyd.
