This week’s question comes from Ginger Meggs cartoonist, illustrator and caricaturist extraordinaire Jason Chatfield: Q: I notice your sketch-of-the-week pencils are a lot tighter than your MAD parody draft layouts. Have you ever considered doing a parody as pencils a la Mort, then colouring over them? I realise it’s not your usual style, but your Sketch-Of-The-Week sketches are incredible. A: Thanks, Jason. Glad you enjoy the SotW. Jason refers to some of Mort Drucker‘s later work in MAD, which seemed to get away from his traditional pen and ink style and includes more pencil work and less ink. Having never seen any of the originals… READ MORE

Come see MAD Magazine’s David Degrand, Annie Gaines Ashton, Garth Gerhart, Kit Lively and myself today at the North Texas Comic Book Show at the Doubletree Hotel, 2015 Market Center Blvd, Dallas, TX 75207 (just off I-35 near Medieval Times and behind The Hilton Anatole). Admission is only $7.00 (CHEAP). I’ll have my usual plethora of books, prints, original MAD art and will be doing disappointing but overpriced caricatures and sketches. As always, anyone who brings me a Monster Ultra Zero energy drink (the white can) gets a free “Alfred as Batman” drawing (big deal)! See you there! READ MORE

I just finished a piece for this year’s MAD 20 aka MAD‘s 20 Dumbest People, Events and Things of 2014, so I thought it would be appropriate to post some of the art from a past MAD 20 piece. This was from MAD #502, Jan 2010, and was depicting the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates by Sgt. James Crowley for trying to break into his own house. After an escalating media fight with accusations of racial profiling, harsh comments from Obama that were then criticized by law enforcement, the President had both parties and VP Joe Biden discuss the issue at a patio… READ MORE
