Maggie's Crib

Maggie's Crib is a series of short comic stories written and drawn by Sergio Aragonés. They are a former regular feature of Bart Simpson.

The first stories were published in Bart Simpson #50. After that, they appeared in nearly every issue of the series through #75. The last two stories appeared in the Maggie #1 comic from the Simpsons Comics One-Shot Wonders series.

The stories are quite short, only one or two pages long. The stories are also wordless, but are drawn in the narration-by-illustration style typical of Aragonés' "A Mad Look at...." cartoons in Mad magazine.

The stories' plotlines center around Maggie Simpson. A typical theme is Maggie taking action in a behind-the-scenes fashion with other characters being surprised, mystified, or victimized by the results.
