About this Collection

This 1986 collection from Fantagraphics gathers the complete run of the satirical comic series that gleefully skewers celebrity culture by inserting lookalike versions of famous figures—from Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra to the Three Stooges and Abbott and Costello—into absurd, often darkly comedic situations. The title itself sets the tone for a work that parodies real-world personalities while insisting on its fictional nature, blending pop culture references with surreal humor and biting social commentary.

In "Whatever Became of... Our Gang?", the lives of the classic Our Gang/Little Rascals cast are reimagined with a delightfully twisted twist, contrasting their innocent past with wildly absurd, satirical versions of their present-day realities. From the gang’s most beloved members to the ones you’d least expect, each character’s current fate is revealed with a sharp, humorous edge that turns nostalgia on its head.
