The book title: ''Confucio Massim<small>(o)</small>'', something to do with [[Massimo Liorni]]. The posters with the text ''Boys & Girls - Your Milk'', ''Wallace Inc. IT Comics'', ''Swat Tour - T Win gt car set by Ma**'' is a kind of internal humor. It is interesting that the Swat Tour poster is pasted over another poster with a picture of a woman. The man in the panel and his shadow point to a crack in this poster, and this crack is drawn as a hand pointing at the woman. The text on this poster is incomplete: ''OL* GILY''. | |||

Easter Eggs
La clinica clandestina
Unsure why the artist made a large billboard that points to a car with the text: Your old car.
La clinica del dottor Mefix
In this story U.Sam put in a street sign with Liornik Street and SAM + LIO + RNI at the spine of some books in a bookshelf.
Caccia al Grisbi
The book title: Confucio Massim(o), something to do with Massimo Liorni. The posters with the text Boys & Girls - Your Milk, Wallace Inc. IT Comics, Swat Tour - T Win gt car set by Ma** is a kind of internal humor. It is interesting that the Swat Tour poster is pasted over another poster with a picture of a woman. The man in the panel and his shadow point to a crack in this poster, and this crack is drawn as a hand pointing at the woman. The text on this poster is incomplete: OL* GILY.
Cover
On the cover of Mandrake #153 from 1970 one can read BossyK LiornyK. - Seems like U.Sam was not quite satisfied with his boss when he made this cover.
Hidden Signatures

It can be seen in the "Magia bianca" story where Mandrake is reading a newspaper with a EF logo on the first page. In this story the same letters also appears on the back page, but now as EF. RI. This newspaper is used in the stories "Ore zero ... camera a gas" and "Narda allo sbaraglio". The last one includes the letters GF, which probably refers to the co-artist - his brother Germano Ferri.
