Black American folklore is the source of Margot Zemach's Jake and Honeybunch Go to Heaven (Farrar, Straus & Giroux; $13.95). Jake, a laborer, lives near a town appropriately called Hard Times. Honeybunch is a mule, with a disposition that belies her name. One evening the pair run into a freight train and wind up on the Glory Road to the Pearly Gates. Zemach's mural-like paintings create a midnight world of green pastures, good food and celestial jazz. After the requisite tantrum, even Honeybunch sees the light: the brilliance of the moon and all the stars that...
Robert Crumb is a kind of American Hogarth, a moralist with a blown mind. The gallery he has created in underground comic books-from the gnomic sage Mr. Natural, the Priapus of the Midwest, through such creatures as Angelfood McSpade to that morsel of 13-year-old jailbait, Honeybunch Kaminski-constitutes Head City's sharpest and funniest view of American life.

Husking the Corn. Their first act includes Green's hilarious version of the early groping talkies: a pompous baritone named "Donald Ronald" who happily mouths "Honeybunch, you drive me frantic with your smiles," but utters only a half-Nelson eddy of sound. After more silent facial farces, Green joins Betty in loudly husking cornier Shubert operettas (The Baroness Bazooka). There is also a Reader's Digest book condensation that scrunches Gone with the Wind into 22 words...
...Founded in 1907 by the late Edward Stratemeyer. who himself wrote under half a dozen pseudonyms, the syndicate's stable of interchangeable writers endlessly creates new volumes in such series as Tom Swift Jr., The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Happy Hollisters, The Dana Girls, The Bobbsey Twins, Honeybunch and Norman. These cannot be found on most library shelves; yet children always manage to have them in hand, and they sell at a rate of 2,000,000 a year...
