The Great Kurtmani

It's hard to tell if the name of this great feature is meant to be pronounced "Aspirin" like the pain killer or a truncated form of "Aspiring" as in "to seek or attain or accomplish a particular goal" but nonetheless we see once again the rabbit-pulling-magician-out-of-hat motif as feature myriad times on this blog although in this case many magicians of a diminutive size.  The feature is some 1949 unsigned work by the great Mad magazine artist Harvy Kurtzman.  Tip o' the magician's hat to the fabulous Cartoon Snap blog.
