There'sCrumb the Satirist, giving us parody covers and fake ads, not tomention his takes on cultural icons such as Mickey Mouse (of course!),Donald Duck, Heckle & Jeckle, and '” hey! is that Harpo Marx thereon page 133? And look, isn't that a young Fritz the Cat? And finally,there's Crumb the Artist.
