This week’s Monday MADness is a look at the finished inks for MAD #449’s parody of of the TV show “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” entitled “Lewd & Disorder: Criminal Malcontent” written by Dick DeBartolo, dated Jan 2005. At the time this was one of my favorite pieces I had done for MAD because it was a lot of fun exaggerating the difference in size of the hulking Vincent D’Onofrio and the diminutive Kathryn Erbe. D’Onofrio was also always doing these weird and uncomfortable things when talking with people where he would lean in and around their personal space, peeking around them with his head… READ MORE

This week’s Monday MADness is a look at the splash page for one of my earliest movie parodies, writer Arnie Kogen‘s send up of Wes Anderson‘s “The Royal Tenenbaums” which appeared in MAD #417, May 2002. It’s has a sentimental place for me because MAD doesn’t parody these kinds of films very often anymore. In fact, after this one the only films I’ve drawn the parody for that did not feature wizards, British spys, robots, tributes, or super-heroes, have been “School of Rock”, “Brokeback Mountain”, “American Sniper” and the recent “Sully”. Sadly the original scans and color art, including the scans of the roughs, have… READ MORE

I was extremely remiss in not posting about this right after it happened. The National Cartoonists Society honored wonderful, longtime member of MAD‘s “Usual Gang of Idiots” Angelo Torres with the prestigious Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award on October 24th in a ceremony in New York City. The Caniff is a big deal, and Angelo greatly deserve the recognition for a long and fantastic career both inside and outside the pages of MAD. Unfortunately I could not be there, as I was in Orlando on our annual family trip to visit The Mouse and other friends at the time. Several of Angelo’s admirers sent… READ MORE

This weeks Monday MADness is a look at the original pencil roughs from the movie parody of “Superman Returns” written by MAD‘s Maddest Writer Dick DeBartolo and originally appearing in MAD #468, August 2006. Incidentally I got to meet Superman himself, Brandon Routh, at a Warner Brothers/DC Entertainment event last summer at San Diego Comic con: I told him I drew him in the MAD Magazine parody of his movie, to which he replied “What’s MAD Magazine?” READ MORE
