It’s been a little over a year since CLAPTRAP was released, and I have officially healed from the trauma of doing that much work for one project. The many late nights and countless hours on the drawing board makes it a little hard to want to part with the tangible results of all that work. It’s the same with most any big jobs for me. For a while after I finish a major project I like to have that work in the flat files just as a reminder that I did accomplish something with all the effort. Eventually that need passes and it just becomes… READ MORE

I’m talking about MAD’s spoof of “Aquaman” from MAD #7 (June 2019) written by my CLAPTRAP cohort Desmond Devlin. The reason this seemed this one might be the curtain call for MAD movie parodies is that it was at this point in the MAD timeline, February of 2019, that… READ MORE
Monday AGAIN?? Here we go with yet another step on the crooked path of mediocrity that was my work for MAD Magazine. This week we look back at a kinda-sorta movie parody (but not really) from MAD #6, written by Ian Boothby. This piece was done right as “Mary Poppins Returns” starring Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda was released. It’s not a parody of the movie but an original story using the characters. That does not count as an actual movie parody of course. It’s a political feature. I happen to have full scans of the final inks of this splash because I had the… READ MORE
About a month ago (October 3rd to be exact), would have been the 100th birthday of the legendary creator of MAD, cartoonist, writer and editor Harvey Kurtzman. So I decided to take a breather from the “Famous Movie Moments” series and draw Harvey. Just to do something different I did this one using brush pens! READ MORE
