Great tribute, Tom! I discovered Elder’s work in the Ballentine paperback reprints after I started picking up the newstand magazine. Those early Mad comic book parodies have such a great energy. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for kids encountering them on the stands in the early 50′s. I’m so glad I’ve got a framed,signed litho of some of his characters. Just wish I could’ve met him.
