At home now, where I can check my 6th-grade reading. It's called "And He 
Built a Crooked House" in that collection. But I like the Moebius title 
better.

Title story was an early introduction to Pynchonian paranoia--seems the 
title character is God's art critic, and They're making a few changes 
here and there . . . protagonists are driving along, seeing the landscape 
through their windows as normal, but if they roll the window down, all 
that's there is fog. Very interesting at the age I was then; sorry 
Heinlein took the turn he did later on.
