I was going to add this strip to my post on the passing of MORT DRUCKER, but I decided to publish it here so that, hopefully, more people see it. Truth to tell, I've got cleaner reprints of this strip in books and individual issues of MAD, but this one's from the '60s British edition (#59), and (even though its showing its age) has amend-ments to the text to remove U.S. references that U.K. readers wouldn't have 'got'.
So if you're from the other side of the pond and have the original American version (or reprint), dig it out and have fun comparing the differences. However, while you're doing that, don't forget to appreciate the artistic genius of Mort Drucker, who drew many movie and TV parodies for the mag over several decades. When he retired, despite the sterling efforts of others, Mad was never quite the same again.
