Yep. I still remember my ritual from my youth where I would head to the local market to pick up the latest issue of Mad along with some candy, soda and snacks to consume while I devoured the magazine, and particularly the artwork.

| I had a subscription to MAD when I was a kid, for a few years. He was my favorite illustrator. I think I still have the Batman one. I used to sit and try to copy his style. |
