"A Kurtzman formula: you say something true, but high-minded-preferably a couple of things true, but high-minded, to set up the rhythm. Then you deflate the whole lofty mess by saying something really true, but base and down-to-earth. You point out that the Emperor is nekkid, that mortals are driven by greed and lust.

And, of course, if you're Harvey Kurtzman, you do it with impeccable timing and a tight sense of structure that leaves the reader with not just a laugh, but Insight...Nowhere else is there such a larger body of Kurtzman's drawings, and Jungle Book was an important step toward making comics Adult Entertainment...This is one book I'd even pay for." - from the introduction by Art Spiegelman, creator of Maus
