In honor of April Fool's Day, an artist's prank that made it into print. From the 1950s EC horror comic Tales from the Crypt #29, "A Rottin' Trick": Artist Joe Orlando hid pornographic diagrams in the pattern of the curtains in this panel; editors Al Feldstein & Bill Gaines failed to notice Orlando's joke, and due to the reduced size and low-quality printing of comics at the time, the hidden images weren't visible in the published comic. It wasn't until the stories were reprinted at larger size and higher quality that Orlando's prank was discovered... (Story by Al Feldstein, art by Joe Orlando.)
