Q: Please tell me what issue “The Mutant Insect of Job Disparity” appeared in. I want to buy it somehow.
A: It appeared in the “News on the March” section in the April 1981 (Chaos) issue, one of a series of such charts that appeared in the magazine for several issues. (Thanks to Carol for this answer as well as additional information–see the Comments link.)
You’ve been wating a long time for this answer, apparently. The Mutant Insect appeared in “News on the March” in the April 81 “Chaos” issue.
For what it’s worth, this was one of 6 such graphs, drawn by someone called Jack Tom, that appeared Feb thru July 81, all (allegedly) showing areas of “disparity”:
Feb 81; Lawn Sprinkler of Disparity
Mar 81; Seabed
Apr 81; Mutant Insect
May 81; Female Sex Organs
Jun 81; Mental Hospital Bathroom
Jul 81; Mutant Bunny Hutch
There might have been others; I don’t know. I can make xeroxes of these if you want.

Thank you for this information! I do very much want xeroxes of April 1981 Mutant Insect. And you tell me of another “disparity” graph, June 1981, featuring Mental Hospital Bathroom- I am an R.N. working in a mental hospital- the inpatient unit of Southlake Mental Health Center in Merrillville, IN. Would I ever like to see that! The Lawn Sprinkler of Disparity, Feb. 1981, also sounds fantastic.
