    It’s so soothing to continue to see these, but Christ is it going to be hard when they stop.

      So true. Besides Ed and Jim, uncle Warren's episodes are such great sources of additional comic history, and entertaining to boot. And thanks so much again, Jim.

    This still doesn't seem real. The first day when I look and there isn't a new video, it's going to hit all over again like a ton of bricks. We miss you, Ed. Much love to you, Jim.

    Each day I dread the thought of the new video will stop. It’s almost like Ed’s passing was some sort of dream because theses videos keep coming. I can’t stress enough that his passing as effect myself and so many others. I keep reading comments on how Cartoonist Kayfabe has reignited so many of us to pick our pencil and ink to draw. To go and scour again looking for books. I’ve posted each day thanking you guys for all the good work you have done.

      Deep feels on this. No other channel hits our vibe correctly like it. It's either too much ego or too little charm or some imbalance that just doesn't hit the home target like CK.

    “All is Vanity” by Charles Allan Gilbert Circa 1892 that is what that skull painting is I guess paying homage to on the back of that MAD Magazine.

    Rest in peace Ed Piskor. Such a sad and tragic loss. This episode hit my nostalgia button hard. I was 12 in 1974 when these issues were coming out. It was a time when I was buying them off the rack at my neighborhood 7/11 every month, religiously. I distinctly remember wondering what had happened to that April issue. It never showed up on the rack of that 7/11, and I was checking all month long. It wasn’t until much later when I found it at a comic book shop and saw that big middle finger on the cover. Awesome! Mystery solved. Found out that 7/11 refused to put it out that issue for sale. I still have all those Mads I collected from back then too.

    I was 9-years-old in 1974 and you better bet I was buying every issue of Mad Magazine off the stands at my local 7-11. Mad spoke to my 9-year-old brain in so many ways and, I believe, really helped shape who I am, at least in terms of the type of humor and comics I enjoy most. I remember all of these issues and many of the strips and gags. I gotta think this period was peak Mad. Such brilliant stuff from William Gaines and company. RIP Ed.

    It's ironic how often Ed would honor a cartoonist who had passed away by saying "rest in peace" or by pointing out that the artist died way too soon.

    Also the cover of Mad 171 is "The Sting" with Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

    • @reprintranch
      @reprintranch Před měsícem +1

      It’s worth pointing out that the movie poster artwork for The Sting (parodied on the MAD cover) was rendered by a very talented fellow named Richard Amstel.
      He was one of the best-known U.S. movie poster artists of the ‘70s and ‘80s, probably his most famous work is the poster art for the first Raiders of the Lost Ark film. Unfortunately, he died in 1985 of AIDS-related health issues.

    That MAD computer feature had a gag that said "their dumb mistakes can cause us to make fatal mistakes". Sadly relevant.

    I can't speak to that drug back cover in terms of why they opted to print that one, but for what it's worth, the image is a spoof of All is Vanity by Charles Allan Gilbert. Someone smarter than me might be able to make a connection between that and the drug tableau

    Re: Bruce Day 18:00- I art directed Bruce Day on the magazine I designed back in the early 2000s. Sweetest guy with an interesting story. After serving in the Army he played football in college and then the NFL (I think it was the Chiefs? I can't remember). He only worked for Mad for a short time--only 2 issues. Bruce told me he became a born again Christian about the same time and couldn't justify working for Mad. He continued his cartooning career (mostly for Christian publications) up until 4 years before his death in 2015 at age 76. Love you Jimmy. Rest easy, Eddy P.
