MAD’s Editor-in-Chimp, John Ficarra Popmatters.com just posted a really insightful interview with MAD VP & Executive Editor John Ficarra (and yes, that is a bit of an oxymoron). All joking aside…and some would say MAD does that regularly…the article really examines how MAD has changed with the times, some of the thought processes behind the magazine’s approach to humor in the 21st century, and a look behind the scenes at some of the features in MAD #424. It’s actually one of the best looks into the magazine’s inner workings I’ve read in a long time… John must have had an intern do it. Speaking of… READ MORE
Clicky to Embiggen… Uproxx.com has an exclusive first look (I know… big deal!) of the splash page for the parody I did along with writer Desmond Devlin of the movie “Man of Steel”. The sneak peek includes a look at MAD‘s long history of lampooning Superman, starting with ‘Superduperman” in MAD #4.

My first appearance was in issue #399 back in October of 2000, and since then I’ve had work in all but 25 of the subsequent 124 issues. That magic #100 should be updated sometime soon on Mike Slaubaugh’s MAD lists page. According to Mike’s… READ MORE

Clicky to Embiggen… MTV Geek posted a sneak peek of the splash page to MAD‘s parody of “Homeland”, words by David Shayne, art by me. I’ll be able to post more of a peek at the rest of the parody once the issue’s release date gets closer. Sharped-witted MAD fans (BTW, that phrase appears in the Oxford English dictionary as the definition of “oxymoron”) might have noticed that despite the fact that MAD is published bi-monthly, issue #523 is coming out only one month after July’s #522 hit the stands. This is because the June release of the Superman Special delayed #522 (which should have… READ MORE
