This week’s subject is actress Sarah Jessica Parker. She is not the classic beauty, having a very long, angular, and “horsey” sort of face. Her nose is an obvious feature to exaggerate, but I’ve always been struck by how big and square her jaw is much more than her nose. READ MORE
As promised, here’s the splash and some of the art from the parody of “Modern Family” in the latest issue of MAD: Click for a closer look… So, like my flashback with Christina Applegate and the parody of “Samantha Who?” a few years ago, I once again am revisiting my “Bundys” roots and drawing another “Married… with Children” alumni. This time it’s Ed O’Neill: Can Katey Sagal (currently in “Sons of Anarchy”) or David Faustino (currently in… uh….) be far behind? READ MORE

Q: Do you do personal commissions, and how much would you charge? A: I get this one a lot, so every few years I repost the answer because, if anything, it’s even more accurate than it used to be. I really hate my answer to this frequent question, but realistically I have no other answer to give. No, I am very sorry to all who inquire, but I had to stop doing personal commissions a long time ago. Due to a plain old lack of physical time I have to often turn down very high paying freelance publication or advertising jobs. If I accepted personal… READ MORE
The icade console for the iPad. Combined with Atari’s Greatest Hits app, which brings over 100 classic video games to the iPad, this console will mimic the joystick/button play of classic games like Asteroids, Missle Command and Centipede. Pac-Man cannot be far behind. This started out as an April Fools joke from Think Geek, and it’s now about to go on sale… just like the Tauntaun carcass sleeping bag! READ MORE

The Hundreds visits the offices of MAD, no longer on MADison Avenue (okay, they moved from there decades ago) but still a fun place to see. If you look closely you can see the bottom of my original of the splash from “Harry Plodder and the Torture of the Fanbase” just above Hermann’s original from “Road to Perdition” in art director Sam Viviano‘s office. Sam and I had a deal for years that we would trade originals sometime. He gave me the art from his parody of “Halloween” from MAD #376. Then he said he would wait until I actually did something GOOD for the… READ MORE
