MADness #56- Kim City!

Get ready for the fallout because it’s time to launch another episode of our nuclear-powered trip through my work at MAD Magazine! This piece is a megaton-o-fun from MAD’s “20 Dumbest People, Events and Things of 2006” from MAD #473, Jan 2007. I think the theme and message is self explanatory. There is no writer credit so this was one of the MAD 20 pieces that was written by the MAD staff.

This was another try at a fully digital piece, and I liked the results with this one a lot better than the “religious Video Games” one I had done a few issues ago. The idea here is it’s supposed to be video game graphics (2007 level) so the surreal, plastic feel to the objects and terrain is appropriate. I actually ended up doing a total of five “video game” pieces for MAD where I had to try and mimic the look of the games or game covers. This was the second. The final one I did featured Kim Jong Un.

Toon in next week when I go back to a parody of a TV show (sort of) that actually made it on TV!
