Each Monday I’m doing an installment of a complete, chronological look at every job I did for MAD over my 20 year run for the magazine, complete with whatever stories, anecdotes, or milestones, might apply along with the full article. This Monday MADness installment is a look at my fifth appearance in MAD, which was also my first ever movie parody in the magazine. This was a spoof of the film “Traffic”, entitled “Traff-eccch!” written by longtime MAD writer Arnie Kogen for MAD #405, May 2001.

Since it looks like I’ve probably done my last job for MAD Magazine, I am going to start showing each piece I did for the magazine in chronological order here on the Monday MADness feature, and telling any stories associated with them. I know I showed a few of these recently but I’m a completist so here’s my first ever published MAD piece, from MAD #399, Nov 2000 written by Dick DeBartolo. This was not actually the first piece I ever did for the magazine. I did this one in September of 2000, and my first assignment was in June of 2000, but that one… READ MORE
