Looks like “Terminator: Dark Fate: is already terminated at the box office, having opened at only $29 million in North America when $40 million was projected (apparently less people than expected wanted to see a 72 year old Arnold Schwarzenegger and a 63 year old Linda Hamilton playing action heroes onscreen). So, here’s a look at the art for MAD‘s spoof of “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” i.e. “Interminable 3: Rise of the Bad Scenes”, from MAD #432, August 2003 written by Dick DeBartolo. Arnuld was a relatively youthful 56 at the time. Of course we still made fun of how old he was… READ MORE
Q: Is Viz your new MAD? Are you looking for other magazines where you can publish movie spoofs just in case Mad magazine is really ending? A: This is good timing for this question, because I just delivered a couple of pieces for MAD #11’s “The MAD 20 Dumbest People, Events, and Things of 2019″, and they might be the last thing I do for MAD for a while… maybe ever. I’ve been drawing for MAD for just over 19 years, so it’s been a big part of my life for a long time… but it’s never been my only, or even the biggest, source… READ MORE
Earlier this week Sony pictures announced the details of the home video release of Quentin Tarantino‘s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, and that one of the editions will feature a bunch of extras including a 24 page “Mini MAD” magazine with a follow up parody of the fictional “Bounty Law” TV show from the film. How did that all come about? I’m glad you asked! Back in late July MAD art director Suzy Hutchinson got a call from Quentin’s production team who wanted to explore the idea of doing a small MAD insert of some kind for the film’s Blu-ray release. It would be… READ MORE
In honor of the end of the 2019 baseball season here’s a look at a job I did for the Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper back in early 2008. This was a full page cover of the sports section (above image cropped a bit) to go with coverage that previewed the upcoming MLB season. That year the Minnesota Twins (and the Royals) were considered to be the ‘little guys” amid three “giants” of the division. Here are some of the pencils sketches I sent in: If I remember right we started out with generic people as players, so no caricatures. I tried a couple of different… READ MORE
Entertainment Weekly just spilled the beans on another little project I worked on with Quentin Tarantino‘s studio and MAD for the film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, this time something for the Blu-ray release. Like most movies these days, the “home video” release will come in a lot of different packages and flavors. One of them is a “Limited 4K UHD Collector’s Edition” which will feature all the deleted scenes and extra footage of the other releases, but also a 7-inch vinyl record of a recording of Rick Dalton’s “Hullabaloo” TV show guest performance, a poster for the Rick Dalton film “Operazione Dyn-o-mite!” (which… READ MORE
Just got back from Kansas City where my son and I watched the Packers beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. I had to post this spot illustration I did for issue #496’s “Signs Your Dad Loves Football More Than Your Family” for this week’s Monday MADness… READ MORE
