Well Spiegelman obviously found it funny enough to go along with, so I'd say you can laugh safely. The comic store stuff was the funniest material, but I recognize my bias. I'm guessing the Watchmen Babies joke will fly over the heads of 95% of the viewing audience (until the movie comes out and this episode is in syndicated repeats). “And I didn’t know whether to laugh or be horribly appalled by the “Maus is in the house!” gag.”
