A few of the "Usual Gang of Idiots" parody Tarzan, Shirley Temple/National Velvet, mysteries, and show-biz-centered musicals.  Although I prefer Drucker's art to Davis's, including Marlon Brando cast as Tarzan (the mumbling maybe?), the Davis-illustrated stories are better written, "Little Miss Wishy Washy" in particular.  Most of the humor is un-topical, except in "Tarzan Faces Tsuris" (Yiddish for "trouble"), where the natives dance the Watusi.  Drucker also draws naked (but not detailed) women in that story, although the most suggestive picture is Fran wrapped in curve-hugging bandages in "The Case of the Murderer Who Killed."

I chuckled a few times, and got more of the jokes than I did when I first read this around the age of 8.
