MAD uses funny little puns to identify each cartoonist. I am PLUGGED NICKEL, which I guess is better than NICKEL AND DIMED or NICKELODEON (which would probably invite an immediate cease and desist letter from Viacom).
Eagle-eyed readers of A Nickel's Worth (hey, that's not a bad title either) will remember that I previewed a version of this cartoon many (many) months ago on this very blog.
I love this cartoon...I remember feeling the same way the first time too. A moment of brilliance, Scott.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chris...I must admit this is one of my faves, along with the Amish Handsaw Massacre gag that ran in EEK!
ReplyDeleteThe Amish are a bountiful source of humor, but I think they're having the last laugh. What's it cost to fill up a horse and buggy?
Great, great gag.
