Every year MAD Magazine does a feature called “MAD‘s 20 Dumbest People, Events and Things” of the year.

The last few years MAD has been giving various website exclusive sneak peeks of various parts of the MAD 20. Some have begun to crop up already.

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

This was a BIG eight pager… the longest MAD parody I’ve done since the nine page “Harry Plodder and the Lamest of Sequels” back in 2002’s MAD #424. It was unique in it had what was essentially a three page splash. The first page was a left side page, followed by this… READ MORE
