SUPER DOPE!! I'm guessing that the second picture is by Gary Baseman. The third is by Aya Kakeda. Fourth is by Junko Mizuno? Fifth is by Tado. I don't know who did the sixth one. Seventh (my favorite) is by Joe Ledbetter. I don't know the eighth one. Ninth is by Luke Chueh. Tenth is by, once again, Tado. And the eleventh is by MAD. Correct me if I'm wrong.
