This humorous illustration by Jack Davis for Sick Magazine #31 depicts a fantastical scene with a genie trapped in a swirling purple cloud. The genie is angrily swatting at bugs with a fly swatter, while a young boy wearing a top hat sprays him with “Magic Genie Bug Bomb.” Davis was a renowned American illustrator and cartoonist known for his work in Mad Magazine and other publications. The illustration is a classic example of his energetic and humorous style, which is often described as exaggerated and whimsical.
