...town, Caprial Pence, 24, chef at the handsome, pricey Fullers in the Seattle Sheraton Hotel. After three years in training jobs, Pence took over as chef in 1987. Now she turns out dishes that are as delicious as they are pretty, among them a colorful spinach salad with warm duck and orange sections topped with a rosette of Japanese red pickled ginger, and mellow ravioli filled with crab meat and hazelnuts. Born in Pasco, Wash., and trained at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., Pence believes that Seattle is just the right size to support experimental restaurants...

In 1954 Harvey Kurtzman's Mad comic book burlesqued the Disney cartoon world, with its talking animals wearing three-fingered gloves, its ducks in sailor suits but no pants, and a mouse named Minnie "with lipstick and eyelashes and a dress with high-heeled shoes; a mouse, ten times bigger than the biggest rat." This was mild stuff compared with a 1967 parody that Mad Alumnus Wallace Wood drew for Realist magazine. In the cheerfully scabrous "Disneyland Memorial Orgy," Walt's creatures behaved...
