From The Idiotical…The Offical Blog of MAD Magazine: READ MORE

In honor of Edvard Munch‘s painting “The Scream” setting an auction sales record of $119 million, MAD posted some of the many parodies of the famous painting that they have done (including the one above) over the years on their official blog, The Idiotical. Check out the others here. Here’s a parody I did of that painting for the Ray Grigg‘s film I Want Your Money. It appeared hanging on the wall in the Oval Office in one of the animated segments: Not really much effort on my part, I simply replaced the face of the screaming man with that of our current Commander in… READ MORE

Behind the Scenes- The Hunger Pains Parody

April 17th, 2012 | Posted in MAD Magazine

Final splash page, sans words… Since EW.com scooped me on the sneak peek of the MAD parody of The Hunger Games, this post will be more of a “behind the scenes” of the job. As always, clicky image to embiggen. The writer of the parody was Desmond Devlin. First pencil rough . . . Grade: F- Above is the first pencil rough of the splash. This was a complex splash, because all the word boxes were being spoken by one person (Stanley Tucci’s host character “Cesear Flickerman”), there were a LOT of word boxes, necessitating three rows, and most of them described a character that… READ MORE

Hands-on with the iMad App

April 3rd, 2012 | Posted in MAD Magazine

As promised, on Sunday DC Entertainment and MAD Magazine released the MAD iPad app (which I am unofficially calling iMad, so no lawsuits, Apple!) Here’s a hands-on tour of the new app: Getting Started First off, while it is an “app”, it downloads into the Apple “Newsstand” area, not directly on to the iPad pages, which makes sense. On the Newsstand! Looks lonely… I may have to subscribe to other magazines. Do they still make Tigerbeat? Once you open the app, you are asked if you want push notifications when a new issue is available (I said yes), and then you are taken to a… READ MORE
