Joe Berger.
In their final adventure, the Tootings meet the Potts, time-traveling car Chitty's original owners, and the families work together to defeat evil villain Tiny Jack, who has stolen landmarks from all over the world. Incessant conflicts, though too neatly resolved, keep the stakes high and propel the madcap plot forward. Berger's black-and-white spot art is nicely matched to Boyce's vivid descriptions.
