Sergio Aragonés Weird Picture Search

In 2005 and 2006 famous MAD cartoonist Sergio Aragonés did full-page cartoons for WEEKLY WORLD NEWS in his intricate and wall-to-wall, top-to-bottom art style, with every square inch presenting something funny. Here are 12 of his cartoons. They are of the “find the hidden objects” style, and sorry, I have not provided the keys to finding all the objects. You are on your own.

WEEKLY WORLD NEWS is available for free viewing online from Google Books.
