It’s great to see the appearance of some new faces in MAD. Recently Aussie MAD cartoonist Anton Emdin has had a few great pieces in the U.S. edition. This issue contains a piece by the winner of the 2008 Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship, the talented Chris Houghton! Congrats, Chris! I expect to see your work in future issues as well as a lot of other places.
My contribution this issue might be my favorite project I’ve ever done for MAD… it’s certainly in the top three. Just a great combination of a very funny script, great faces and characters, a fun era to capture the look of and also a really good show that I ended up getting hooked on in the process. It is a six page parody of the TV show “MAD MEN” written by Arnie Kogen, look for a sneak peek at that sometime soon.
What are you waiting for, clod?!? Go out and buy a fershlugginer copy already!

Looks like an awesome issue, except didn’t they already do a piece called “Deleted passages from Bush’s new book”?
D’OH! That’s what I get for trying to cut and paste from a previous ToC post! Thanks for catching that. Fixed.
It’s on the tip of my tongue. If you’ll give us just one more clue, I’m almost positive I can guess it!
Thanks, Tom! I can’t wait to see your Mad Men parody… I’m also hooked on the show.
And very nice to see Chris Houghton’s debut, too!
Thanks for the shout-out Tom! What an honor to be included in MAD- a dream come true! Great to see Anton in the US version as well!
Ahhh…Tom Richmond and Mad Men- a match made in parody heaven! Finally! Hope you get to do “Modern Family” so we can see your new take on Ed O’Neill!
What about the “What are you waiting for? Go buy a copy, clod!” part??!
Wow… total fail on the ToC post this issue! Fixed.
Can’t wait to see the Mad Men Satire! Wish you could do an whole issue on it!
*sigh* MAD subscription services let me down again…. I was supposed to receive this one!
