Oh, ye of little faith. A week or so back I posted about the uncertainty of MAD‘s future since basically none of the current longtime staff of editors and art directors were moving out west with the closing of MAD‘s NYC based offices. My post was mostly about the fact that DC Entertainment has given no one any idea of their plans or who might be taking the helm of the magazine.

I spent last weekend in Pittsburgh PA with the crazy crew shown above teaching one of my caricature workshops. As usual I had a lot of diversity in skill level, from beginners to seasoned live caricature pros to professional cartoonists/comic book artists and animators. We had a lot of fun, drew a lot of faces and (I hope) everyone learned something. Thanks to the group for taking the workshop! I have one more workshop this year with available space in it, taking place Sept 15th-17th here in Minnesota. The MN workshops are unique in that the Friday event happens here in my home/studio and I am… READ MORE

The big news on the MAD move to Burbank is… there is no news. DC Entertainment has given no official (or unofficial for that matter, at least to my knowledge) information on their plans for the magazine once it gets to the west coast. Here’s the little I do know: The New York staff will be doing the magazine through issue 550. This will be the last issue produced in NYC by the current MAD staff, and will be out in Feb 2018 but will be produced before Dec 31, 2017. The offices will close at the end of 2017. I’m told only one of… READ MORE
