August 9th, 2010 | Posted in MAD Magazine
I’ve gotten so many e-mails from people asking for help identifying the one or two pundits they can’t figure out in the above panel that I thought I’d just put together a “key” to all of them… so here ya go:
- Lawrence O’Donnell
- Monica Crowley
- Bernie Goldberg
- Jonathan Alter
- Joe Scarborough
- Ann Coulter
- Rudy Juliani
- Frank Luntz
- Fred Barnes
- Frank Rich
- Rich Lowry
- Steve McMahon
- Fareed Zakaria
- Joan Walsh
- Thomas Friedman
- Dana Perino
- Margaret Carlson
- Howard Dean
- Maureen Dowd
- Eugene Robinson
- Richard Wolffe
- Oliver North
- Newt Gingrich
- James Carville
- Pat Buchanan
- Sanjay Gupta
- Robert Reich
- Karl Rove
- Donna Brazile
- Paul Krugman
- Charles Krauthammer

The lower panel has closeups of Huffington, Rove and Robinson.

What no Rush Limbaugh??
he’s already a caricature in real life.
Hi Tom, your work is terrific. Doing a mob scene about the pundits is a great idea.
Check out my website. My work in style is not far from yours. Tell me what you
think. Thanks Bruce
Tom,
This was the best article in Mad in many years. However, my favorite, Stephanie Miller was missing.
Regards,
Jerry Moore
Thank you so much for this! I just put out a call to my Facebook friends to identify faces here. It didn’t occur to me that you might have a blog! Great work in this piece. Is there some sort of record for “most individually identifiable caricatures in a single MAD magazine panel”?
Harringtoon, Rush shows up on page 49, along with a bunch of other faces not seen in this shot.
That isn’t Limbaugh on pg. 49, it’s Dick Morris. Limbaugh’s not a Fox/CNBC/CNN talking head. All of the Punditland people are.
Correct… No Limbaugh. I thought about throwing him in but enough was enough.
By the way, is there a code to the hats? Who gets a flower pot, who gets a baby bonnet? Why does Paul Krugman get the biggest, nicest one (or two, since the design on the hat on the next page looks different?)
No code. The munchkins in the original film had various hats and flowerpots on their heads, and I just threw in some different looks as well as some curly hair here and there.
