Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
When his teacher says it's time for show-and-tell, Jimmy says, "That stinks!" Turns out he's referring to his pet skunk, which he presents to the class. When Susie replies, "Aw, nuts!", she means the snacks she's brought from home. Amazingly, Katz sustains the clever-crude riff until the principal has the last laugh. Gilpin's semi-grotesque art has MAD Magazine–style swagger.
