Hundreds of MADs
The Hundreds visits the offices of MAD, no longer on MADison Avenue (okay, they moved from there decades ago) but still a fun place to see. If you look closely you can see the bottom of my original of the splash from “Harry Plodder and the Torture of the Fanbase” just above Hermann’s original from “Road to Perdition” in art director Sam Viviano‘s office. Sam and I had a deal for years that we would trade originals sometime. He gave me the art from his parody of “Halloween” from MAD #376. Then he said he would wait until I actually did something GOOD for the magazine for his original. He finally got tired of waiting and settled for that Harry Potter piece.
Go visit this post for a virtual tour of the MAD offices.

The best thng about it is where it showes an unused version of a Jack Davis piece from Kurtzman’s magazine Mad (the boxing story, which I believe was in #24)! How many more of those are in that drawer?!
