In 1960 he painted the cover of the Crocodile, arrows hitting the target. They depict a bureaucrat bribes, four-flusher, bungler, scrounger, a drunkard, a gossip. This situation can be successfully used for a friendly cartoon in itself Fedorov. Just all these negative affects of his heroes always apt pen.
