Cartoonist Jack Davis, the "long-time legendary" artist on the US magazine MAD, has died at the age of 91.

Davis, who also created posters for films such as American Graffiti and Bananas, was one of the founding artists on the publication in 1952.

He contributed to the magazine for several decades, drawing many portraits of its mascot Alfred E Neuman.

MAD art director Sam Viviano said Davis' "immediately recognisable style revolutionised comic illustration".

As somebody who was into Mad in the early 2010s, it's truly sad to see him pass away.  :\'(

We were JUST talking about Mad magazines last night.


What? Me worry?

One of my friends had a few Mad magazines, especially old ones from the 60s and 70s.

Last night I mentioned to Carlos about something I remembered seeing in Mad WAY, WAY back in the dark ages. He said that he used to have a subscription to it. Then he said, "I wish I still had all of mine-they would be worth quite a bit." I told him if he still had them, he wouldn't have them because he would sell them.  ;) :D ;D ;D ;D

That's interesting. I only had a few Mad magazines, but only from the 2010s. I never had a subscription, so it's not like I read them regularly.

The first MAD magazine I received was when I broke my leg as a young kid, my dad brought it to me for something to read. It was the Star Wars edition, and it had an actual playable (flimsy) record in it. Would love to have that now, if only for the nostalgia factor.

My friend has the Star Wars edition of Mad.

That's awesome.  :)
I think I will go on a search for it, just because.

I used to read MAD magazines all the time.

Well okay. Good luck with that.

Oh wow. This is sad. He was a legend. I used to read those magazines all the time.

I have many MAD magazines from the early 70's, it inspired me to humour.
