Hardcover. Seattle, Fantagraphics, 1st, 2010, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 160 pages. Basil Wolverton's Culture Corner is a collection of gag cartoons by the legendary Mad Magazine artist in the form of an indispensable guide to demystifying life's most disconcerting social quandaries. With his fictional host, Croucher K. Conk, Q.O.C (Queer Old Coot), Wolverton would posit the problem and offer a uniquely Wolvertonian solution over seven or eight panels, each one a miniature masterpiece of scandalous visual humor. Wolverton's feature "Culture Corner" originally appeared monthly from 1945 to 1952. Each episode would tackle a different subject from the practical to the pixilated -"How to cross a busy street" to "How to tweak a beak." Revered by aficionados, it contains some of Wolverton's most outrageous drawing and his trademarked lexicon of wacky wordplay
