A MAD Birthday to Sam and Al!

March 13th, 2019 | Posted in General

March is a big month for MAD birthdays. In a little over a week a certain master MAD caricaturist turns 90… but today is a double! Longtime MAD artist turned art director Sam Viviano shares a birthday today with the legendary Fold-In man himself, Al Jaffee! Sam turns 66, while Al is a whopping 98! 98!!!! Both of these gentlemen were huge influences on me as both a young artist and today. Happy birthday, Al and Sam! READ MORE

A MAD #6 Favorite Panel: #2!

February 26th, 2019 | Posted in MAD Magazine

Whoops, this was supposed to post next Monday! Oh well. Here’s my favorite panel from “Merry Poopins Visits the White House” from MAD #6. In case you missed them, here’s the splash and a panel from page 3. I liked this panel just because it’s the better of the caricatures I did of Emily Blunt and Lin Manuel Miranda. The filmmakers went out of their way to try and make Emily Blunt look a lot less like Emily Blunt in this film, so capturing her was difficult. Ordinarily she has these sleeply-lidded eyes with a pronounced dark bulge under them, and a kind of protruding… READ MORE

Monday MADness- MAD #6 Favorite Panel #1

February 25th, 2019 | Posted in General

I shared a peek at the “Merry Poopins goes to the White House” splash page from MAD #6 last week, but that feature I did with writer Ian Boothby was six page long. So for the next few weeks I’m going to post a favorite panel from each page. This was my fav from page 3, mostly because of the background gag. I drew in a “David” statue with Trump‘s head, with a cell phone of course, and with even more enormous hands that the real David has. I think that is a gag but I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump hadn’t commissioned something like… READ MORE

Another MAD #6 Sneak Peek!

February 19th, 2019 | Posted in MAD Magazine

Here’s a look at my art for the splash page for MAD #6’s six page feature “Merry Poopins Goes to the White House”, written by Ian Boothby. I had a lot of fun with this one. It’s not a direct parody of the new Mary Poppins movie, but rather an original spoof of the Mary Poppins character in general, and what would happen if she was asked to come to the White House to work her “magic”. Ian did a great job not just on the story but on doing lyrical parodies (“Sing to the Tune of….”) of several of the songs from the original… READ MORE
