Fun-tastic page, with great inks by Oksner! The gag about "Mitsu Bishi" reminds me of the (real) claim against Rank Xerox by the eponymous company in the '70s: the name was then changed to RanXerox :D

Like Doctor McCoy, he had a singular wit. He will be missed.
Just an incredible talent! Rest in Peace Mr Giffen.
So much of what made Keith Keith is present on this page. What a legend and what a loss to comics. Tip of the hat to Robert Loren Fleming too!
Fleming and Giffen were an amazing team. They produced some of the funniest comics ever created in my opinion. It's sad that there's no chance of us getting a true Ambush Bug story ever again.
Dazzling KG...Rest in Power!!!!
Thanks for sharing this great great Giffen piece. Bwa ha ha ha indeed.
Mid Eighties Zeigeist
And something special’s lurking in the art
Under Bob’s ink line
You see a sight that almost Irwin Schwab
You try to scream
But humor takes are found before your comics
Glib starts to read
As Oksner inks you right between her thighs
You're satirized
Kieth Giffen thrills ya, thrills ya right
And no one's gonna save you
From the Ambush Bug tonight
You know he thrills ya, thrills ya right
You're writing for your life against a killer
Thrill you all night, yeah
It's the eternal debate - who was the bigger icon of the 1980s - Michael Jackson or Ambush Bug? I say the latter.
Ambush Bug better not let his son anywhere near MJ.
A great page and a wonderful tribute to Giffen, Michael. Well done!
Hats off for a legend.
Bummer to hear about the loss of Giffen's passing. His stuff was incredible.
I know I was always aware more of his writing, but loving the look of all the art that has been posted. A very talented man.
Great Giffen example, Michael! Clever whimsical stuff, right up your alley. Congrats, and RIP Keith Giffen.
Oofah, she is a beaut!
Great tribute to Keith Giffen! He really was an incredibly talented artist and writer. Ambush Bug is certainly one of his coolest creations!
Wonderful page and a fitting tribute.
Oh man, so much fun! I love seeing stuff like this - thanks for sharing. Congrats!
