MAD #515 --the big 2-0

My contribution to MAD #515 -- a solo Dork Side strip in the Strip Club section -- marks my twentieth appearance in the humor magazine *.

Who would've thunk it?

I still vividly remember reading MAD in the early 70s, poring over the work of giants like Mort Drucker, Jack Davis, Angelo Torres, Paul Coker, George Woodbridge, Al Jaffee, Sergio Aragones,  Don Martin, Bob Clarke, Dave Berg, Frank Jacobs, Arnie Kogen, Stan Hart, Larry Siegel, Dick De Bartolo, Lou Silverstone, Tom Koch -- MAD's Usual Gang of Idiots. I'd study each word, each figure and line, each article and parody, absorbing them like a sponge.

*I've actually had 29 pieces/articles/cartoons published.

MAD #505

The new MAD is out and it features a new Dork Side strip from the team of Nickel & Lively!

Run, don't  walk (okay, you can hop if you want) to the nearest magazine dispensing establishment and pick up a copy!

MAD Again

Everyone who was waiting anxiously for my latest contribution to MAD magazine can relax. It's here! It's here! Issue #499. On sale now! Only sixteen bucks (Cheap!), or some such ridiculous cover price.

This is the second DORK SIDE comic to appear in MAD's Strip Club section. This issue also features contributions from current and former syndicated cartoonists John Kovaleski, Tony Murphy, and my former collaborator Todd Clark.

And before anyone asks, no I didn't draw that blow-up doll from life.
