<p>I can&#8217;t remember where I came across these scans, but I&#8217;m just glad I did. After <a href="http://www.altitudeslickness.com/2007/07/29/four-days-on-mount-olympus/">last year&#8217;s Mount Olympus trip</a> I&#8217;ve been very interested in the history of that beautiful area and just thought these were a fun find. The artist&#8217;s name is <a href="http://lambiek.net/artists/l/lenox_august.htm">August Lenox</a>, and was primarily known for his oil paintings of the old west. He worked for Disney for some time however, and was responsible for the comic versions of many True-Live Adventures, including Beaver Valley and Bear Country, as well as the Olympic Elk.  We didn&#8217;t see any elk on our trip last year, which is as good an excuse as any for going back&#8230; </p>
