In "How to Handle Crowds," Heckle and Jeckle put their wits to work inventing an "automatic clothes selling machine" to calm the chaos of an overcrowded department store. Jim Tyer’s crisp art brings the absurdly efficient (and hilariously flawed) scheme to life, as a self-interested efficiency expert arrives to "optimize" things—just in time to turn the whole thing upside down.
