    LOL! What an ingenious cover! Perfect!

    Can’t wait to see the sneak-peeks of your Watchmen parody…especially all the little sight gags I know you went crazy with (what’s a Watchmen parody without minute details?).

    What an awesome feather in your cap!

    Oh, and would you be able to shed some light on the “Uncredited” denotation for the “MAD‚Äö√Ñ√¥s Unheroic Watchmen Outtakes” listing? Is that a fairly common practice…maybe for a “jam” collaboration or something? Just curious.

      You will notice several “Uncredited” articles in this issue of MAD, and from many issues the past several years. Basically these are ‘in-house’ articles done by the staff, who traditionally do not get credited for their contributions. Mostly the credit (or blame depending on your point of view) would go to editors John Ficarra, Joe Raiola, Charlie Kadau, Jonathan Bressman, Amy Vozeolas and Dave Croatto, along with Dick DeBartolo and possible input from Sam Viviano.

    YES!! I am so happy- 1) that you did the parody for watchmen ( i have already bought my IMAX tickets online and read the book 4 times)
    and 2) I thought that MAD was becoming a quarterly, so I am so happy that it is not exactly turning into a quarterly!!!!
