“Art Spiegelman turns an acerbic Danny Hellman quote into a funny, self-effacing cartoon.” “Most notably, Spiegelman provides a back cover depiction of the Temple of Cartoon Gods, with [Ted] Rall’s effigy placed in the bathroom.” “In In The Temple of Cartoon Gods, Spiegelman gives himself a lesser rank among such essential artists as undergrounders Robert Crumb and Robert Williams and EC Comics' Wally Wood. Also pictured are Crumb’s Mr. Natural, Williams’ Coochy Cooty, and a Wood-style little-kid character.”
