The comic cuts back and forth between what's happening in the cartoon and what's going on in the studio. The cartoon is itself a parody of what goes on in the animation studio. Finally, the cartoon characters appear to step off of the screen and into the same space as the "real" people. But Deitch goes one further - mixing up true reality with the fantasy of his books.
