Today was a Sunday in 1962, so with the absence of having that strip, here is a Mad Magazine spread where Pogo, Albert and Churchy make a non-speaking appearance—all characters drawn by the master comics emulator Wally Wood.

Little Orphan Annie getting her eyes unblunked! Does Beauregard know about this?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Woody went by his own rules and swiped the whole thing... He certainly emulated all of the original artists' styles, pretty impressive. I like drunk Rip Kirby a lot! Pretty sure Raymond never drew that. The jokes are pretty lame (or worse) though, with a few exceptions... Hope I'm not badmouthing Kurtzman here, I'm guessing this is Feldstein? I don't know enough MAD magazine stuff, I only have some of the early issues, when it was still a comic book. Love those! I think that especially Wood was at his peak then. And those Kurtzman covers will always be some of my favorites of all time.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, as always, thanks for posting!
