MADness #62: Celebrity Yu-Gi-Oh!

Pikachu, I choose YOU! Gotta catch ’em all with this week’s look at… oh wait. That’s Pokemon. WTH is “Yu-Gi-Oh” anyway? I didn’t have any idea in 2007 when I did this job, and I still don’t. But, that didn;t stop me from doing the art for “Celebrity Yu-Gi-Oh Cards”, written by Michael Arnold and appearing in MAD #481, June 2007. This appeared in the same issue as last week’s “Paris Hilton” one pager, making this the third time I had multiple pieces in a single issue of MAD.

However this was the one and only time I worked with writer Michael Arnold, who is a cartoonist in his own right and a fellow member of the National Cartoonists Society. This was the only thing he ever did for MAD proper, although I think he did some work for MAD Kids. Anyway HE knew was Yu-Gi-Oh was, so it all worked out.

Toon in next week for the first of two pieces I had in yet another single issue… one about advertising and the other one? Fuggedaboutit!
