Sweethearts #119 - mis-attributed Wally Wood art

Sweethearts #119
Sweethearts v1 #119, 1953 - Comic book price guides credit Wally Wood for partial art in this issue, but I have to disagree. Of the three stories, "I Failed my School Examinations" comes closest in resemblance to the artist's work. Closer examination, however, contains no details that support the attribution. Wood reveled in his depiction of beautiful women, using fine brushwork to create strong shadows and highlights. Overall, neither the pencils, the inks, nor the layouts match any of Wood's other works from the same period. See the interior page below and share your own opinion. On a side note, what makes this issue special is the photo cover of Marilyn Monroe.
