The highbrow New Yorker's reliably droll cartoonist aims somewhat lower with this yarn about the Krupke family, which finds itself overwhelmed by a terrible odor while riding in the car. A chain reaction of funny (and unsavory) responses lands them in jail and then in court. Kaplan's spare ink and watercolor art on white backdrops is humorously crude if sometimes slipshod.
