Howard Culver played both Adams and Straight Arrow. John Glover found playing Lionel as a straight arrow was "boring". In 1981, sports writer Ritter Collett published a biography of Schlichter, "Straight Arrow". In addition, there were two "Straight Arrow" comic strips. A straight arrow following characters indicates the destination of the expressway. Titled "Lennon Remembers", the book was published by Straight Arrow in the autumn of 1971.
