  • Many Years Ago Al Jaffee Came in with a Piece That Used
    I Ma ha! wa anI thE SUI thl ilf "Many years ago Al Jaffee n C came in with a piece that h' used the word 'schmuck: and there was a big debate about whether the magazine should include that word. Today it would be nothing. rr 072 Desmond Devlin, who has contributed to Mad since 1984, agrees. "Culturally, Mad's impact has been immense, especially back when it was the foremost one-stop source of mockery and criticism;' he says."Mad synthesized the nagging doubts that millions of Americans had about their society, and it demonstrated that iconoclasm would sell to a mass audience. Readers had their suspicions confirmed, and were introduced to new suspicions. "It isn't as if presidents had never betrayed their oaths before, and it isn't as if advertising suddenly got amoral in 1955;' Devlin adds. "But the package Mad has put out, and the attitude it promoted, has long since become a norm:' Mad entered this world in 1952 as a comic book. conceived, written and edited by Harvey Kurtzman and published by ECComics. The first few issues of Mad satirized the era's most popular comic books and comic strips, then Kurtzman started expanding his focus to include other aspects of popular culture, such as supermarkets, restaurant dining, motion pictures and television. Kurtzman delighted in experimenting with style and design, especially on Mad's covers. The cover for issue 19, for example, looks just like a horse-racing form, while the cover of issue 20 is an exact replica of a black composition notebook.

Version of record available at: http:// www.tcj.com/my-friend-dave/ My Friend Dave | The Comics Journal Blog Features Columns Reviews Listings TCJ Archive ← Modern Thinking Morning Becomes Renee → The Spain Interview In this two-part interview, Gary Groth talks to Spain about Catholicism, working in a factory, rebelling against Monsters Eat Critics authority, teaching, the underground comix movement and Zap, and Nightmare Alley. Continue reading → My Friend Dave BY CRAIG FISCHER OCT 25, 2013 Alphabet In his book The Avant-Garde Finds Andy Hardy (1995), Robert Ray argues that film studies has fallen into a rut where most writing follows “the routinized procedures of any academic field,” and where the typical title for a publication or conference presentation is “Barthes, Brecht, Bakhtin, Baudrillard, and all those other people, and Robocop” (5). Ray then suggests that we rouse film studies out of stagnation by abandoning traditional scholarship, at least for a while, in favor of playing surrealistic games with our subject. Movies surprise, infuriate, delight us: unconventional forms of criticism might do the same. One of Ray’s games involves the alphabet. Borrowing a method from Roland Barthes’ eponymous biography, Ray suggests writing criticism in a series of short, “alphabetized fragments, including at least one for every letter” (120). These “alphabetized fragments” can be epigrams (à la Nietzsche), metaphors, anecdotes, lyrical descriptions, short bursts of analysis: what they won’t be is a predictable elaboration of an over-determined thesis.

Another MAD winnerBy Anton KaridianI just finished "Amazingly Stupid MAD" and enjoyed it quite much. I've been a MAD fan since I was a kid in the 1970s, and about the last 5 years I've been reading it more often. I keep it beside my bed so I can get some laughs late at night, and it's great to go to sleep in a better mood. This book is a funny one, with a considerable variety of madness in it. Sergio Aragones' comics are always among my favorites, and he's in here several times. Also comic sections by Al Jaffee, Paul Coker, John Caldwell, Duck Edwing, and Don Martin, who are also some of my faves. Overall, it's mostly the more recent "Gang of Idiots" in here, some of whom I like a lot too, but still there's a significant amount of the old gang I grew up with in the '70s. Only 2 movie parodies are here, spoofs of "Star Wars" Episodes 4 and 5.
