Back when Mad Magazine was funny and very political uncorrect.

Long time and current subscriber to the print edition, which I treasure when the mailman slips it thru the door, angering my wife.

As a kid it was part of the required summer reading collection during sleep-outs under the light of the flashlight.

Loved Mad when I was a kid. He was an incredible talent.

But with a name like Drucker, he had to be good.

I read Mad Magazine all the time as a teenager even up until I was 20 or so. I remember fondly Drucker’s satire of John Wayne’s 1969 film “True Grit,” Drucker named it “True Fat.” It was hilarious and I loved the movie and The Duke. Another funny one was, if I recall the tile correctly, “Butch Casualty and the Sumdunce Kid.”

Mad Magazine and his drawing, what a combination.

I can draw people, see my homepage for an example. But I've never really been able to draw specific people, such as a portrait.

All you really have to do for a caricature is exaggerate a couple of prominent features. Look at what cartoonists do with Obama's ears, or Bill Clinton's nose, or Jimmy Carter's smile.

I like Ben Garrison's work, and of course Jon McNaughton.

I grew up reading Mad Magazine in its glory days. Loved the artwork! RIP Mort, thanks for the joy.

RIP. Mad magazine was fun, especially the little comics in the margins. Dick Bartolo is still having fun with new gadgets.

While my cousin was out running around with her friends in Queens I spent hours in my grandmother’s basement reading Mad magazine, marveling at the great art of Drucker and laughing like mad at his brand of humor.

Man, I hate to see that be part of the days gone by.

Thank you Mort for those good times.

RIP and take up your new studio upstairs and don’t get too irreverent but I rather think those angels have a sense of humor, too.

Will Elder, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, Don Martin, Dave Berg, and now Mort Drucker. RIP all; you inspired a lot of laughter over the years.
