MAD #512: Punitive Damages
As promised, here is a sneak peek at some of the images I did for the “Punitive Damages: A Game of Extreme Justice” feature in MAD #512.
The video game “cover”
The premise of the article was an mock ad for a video game featuring the U.S. Supreme Court Justices, satirizing their decision to allow ultra-violence in video games being targeted at kids as a first-amendment protected right. In the game, the Justices are trying to get past various opponents and obstacles like:
Crazed protesters
Monster laws and amendments (yes… nod to Schoolhouse Rock!)
Fat, former politicians
Zombie Founding Fathers
Finally, the winner get’s new Justices for the next round… (click this one to embiggen)
An interesting feature… a bit of a departure from my usual stuff. Fun, though.

Wow – this issue sure is high on the gore factor! Nie stuff. Is this purely digital rendering?
Yep
Glad to see you got the spelling of MORONS correct. I mean how many protestors spell it. MORANS haha
See and then I spell protesters wrong. I am such a moran.
“Embiggen”…my favorite new word!
FUN, Tom! I especially love the Gore and Ginsburg illos.
Holy geez – a bit of a departure! My favorite is the laser/heat-ray one – awesome how he’s really squeezing it out. “Hurrrrrrrr!” Zap!
somehow compared to all this other stuff, al gore lighting someone on fire seems….tame.
this issue sure looks to be full of good old halloween blood and guts. if anyone from mad mumblings is reading this, here’s the contents i deciphered from some guy’s shaky camera preview on youtube.
-edit- see Tuesday’s post for the TOC of the issue-
Gadhafiesque! Nice annual meeting photos!
