LOL! Thanks for the reminder about MAD Magazine, knarf. I really enjoyed that in my youth. It brings back memories of an elementary school buddy who would bring it to school for us to look at and laugh about. He would draw some of the sketches and add his humor to them. (Very creative guy sheesh, I wonder whatever happened to him)
Mad was probably the biggest influence on me to use and enjoy my mind and imagination ... and we kids were the only ones that "got it"
That's why they HAD to invent Viet Nam ...
WE
WERE
PHENOMINAL
