Rating: Summary: What, Me Worry? Review: "What, Me Pregnant?" is Johnstons answer to the Mad Magazine's phrase "What, Me Worry?". Johnston is trying to jumpstart a new catch phrase for her strip. In this novella we see the Patterson kids lampooning everything from Geo W. Bush to Fidel Castro. This type of humor is fine but then Johnston totally steals ideas from shows that have already been done. She does a spoof on local cable access called "Walts World", wich of coarse is a complete knock off of Wayne's World of the Saterday Night Live fame. She also pokes fun at aliens that have landed here on earth, claiming they are from France. The aliens have huge heads, a complete knockoff from the Coneheads. The aliens are called Spire Heads. There is also a section about Elizabeth heading off to jail because she has picked up the habit of tipping over statues at National Parks.
