Mad as the Devil!
It's 100 days until Halloween, and while scouring the Karswell Kollection for something appropriate to post, I stumbled upon this fun costume party devil encounter by MAD Magazine hero, Sergio Aragones, and thought, yes, sometimes it really doesn't get better than three perfect panels by one of the funniest men in the funny books today. (And you guys know how much we adore the Devil around here already anyway too, right?) Devilish artwork on the front and back covers as well-- this is a seriously hot little paperback collection of some of Sergio's best gags from 1975.

Gave my copy to a young Friend (back in 1999)
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing Aragones back in the early '70s at Comic-Con. The man was incredibly fast.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! I wouldn't mind seem more monster-related stuff from Mad/Cracked/Crazy (or the 50s humor comics) in these halls, even though it's a bit outside your mission statement.
ReplyDeleteThe puns on that back cover are painful, though!
Sergio's definitely one of my heroes--this whole book is just page after page of sheer brilliance and Aragones probably could have produced the whole thing during a short lunch break.
ReplyDeleteI was definitely talking about my next costume earlier today.
I always remember a routine of his called "A Mad Look At Devils."
ReplyDeleteOne cartoon showed a doghouse with three openings, marked "Cerberus."
