    Why is this in Black and White. i have also seen some of your other fantastic works for Mad in BnW. How n Why do they decide so. Has it got to do something with the printing cost. And your charges for BnW vs Color??
    Anyways Big Congratulations. Great journey!

      Mad was only in black and white once it went from a comic book to a magazine up until issue #402 in 2001. This would be a good mailbag question, actually!
