Maggie's Crib is a series of short comic stories which appear in Bart Simpson Comics and are written by Sergio Aragonés. The first stories were published in issue #50.
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 common theme is Maggie taking action in a behind-the-scenes fashion with other characters being surprised, mystified, or victimized by the results.
