Monday MADness- MAD Recycling!

December 2nd, 2019 | Posted in MAD Magazine

I was surprised to see (mostly) my art on the cover of the the latest issue of Australian MAD. This is an altered version of this variant cover I did for Batman/Superman #10, April 2014: Someone added the Joaquin Phoenix “Joker” makeup to the original art for the new cover. No, I did not get paid for this. In fact I didn’t even know about it until someone posted the cover pic on a MAD group in Facebook. That’s the wonderful world of work for hire. READ MORE

Monday MADness- MAD #11 Cover

November 25th, 2019 | Posted in MAD Magazine

Here’s the clever cover for MAD #11 (art by Mark Summers), which goes on sale Dec 18th… somewhere. Your local comic book shop or via your mailbox if you still want to get your MAD on dead trees. Yes this issue is mostly new content. The entire MAD 20 is new. Sergio’s “A MAD Look at…” and Spy vs. Spy is new. I did two of the MAD 20 features. I’ll post the list of contents after the release date. READ MORE

Monday MADness: Da Terminatah!

November 4th, 2019 | Posted in MAD Magazine

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

Monday MADness- Cheesy Dad!

October 28th, 2019 | Posted in Monday MADness

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

Monday MADness- Starchie/Riverdull Pencils!

October 21st, 2019 | Posted in MAD Magazine

This week’s Monday MADness is a look at the pencil sketches of MAD #1’s “Starchie Reconstituted”, an homage and sequel to the brilliant original “Starchie” from MAD #12 by Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder, and “Riverdull”, the spoof of the CW’s “Riverdale”. This was one of my favorite things I’ve ever done for MAD. Written by Ian Boothby. Clicky any to embiggen. READ MORE

Monday MADness: A MAD Reunion!

October 14th, 2019 | Posted in Monday MADness

Earlier this month at New York Comic Con, MAD writer Desmond Devlin and I thought we’d get together for dinner one night. We decided to call and invite a few of our fellow members of the Usual Gang of Idiots. The next thing you know we had almost 30 people show up. The table only sat six, so it was a little cramped. Actually MAD artist Ed Steckley found us a venue and we had a nice little NYC MAD reunion. Here are some pictures, all courtesy of former MAD assistant art director Nadina Simon! I don’t have pictures of anybody else since I was… READ MORE
