Jul 5, 2019 · Known for its cringey wordplay parodies (“Star Blecch: The Next Degradation,” “A Clockwork Lemon,” “From Eternity Back to Here”), its gap-toothed adolescent mascot, Alfred E. Neuman ...
Jun 5, 2014 · While going through a box of old papers, an article I cut out of the New York Times when I was 14 (January 10, 1975) fell out. Just as important to me now as it was then, it is about a subject dear to my heart, Mad Magazine mascot Alfred E. Neuman (not Newman). This face of total idiocy spent at least 50 years as an icon for cool rebellious youth (only in recent years does the 62-year-old ...

1950s MAD Editor Harvey Kurtzman was in the editor’s office at Ballantine Books when his gaze swept the office bulletin board and rested on a pinned-up postcard bearing the idiosyncratic head and shoulders of a boy who, given time, would evolve into MAD’s cover boy. Kurtzman had probably seen the face, before: similar-looking youths had been appear...
In October 2019, a fan wrote to the MAD Magazine and Alfred E. Neumam Collectors’ Facebook group: ‘Does a picture/drawing/collage exist of all the interpretations of Alfred E. Neuman done by various artists from the UGOI?’ Fairly confident that no such collection exists, I began some research of my own. The results are fairly copious, so I decided ...
JACK DAVISdrew fast, with quality, making him allegedly the first millionaire cartoonist. Some fans see Jack as a regular cover artist, although he drew no more than a dozen MAD covers, including the Neumans on the front of #27 and on the back of #30. The variance in the monochrome Neumans below provides a good example of why editor Al Feldstein re...
WALLACE WOODallegedly led a troubled life which ended tragically in 1981: while this made him hard for editors to manage in terms of meeting art deadlines, it affected neither his quality (for me, one of MAD’s top three) nor his detailed quantity of content over the early years of MAD magazine. His version of Neuman flexed to meet each challenge, a...
AL JAFFEEreturned cap-in-hand to MAD in the new Al Feldstein era, after leaving to work on Harvey Kurtzman-led projects, to be accepted immediately by Bill Gaines on the strength of that work. It is surprising how much writing Jaffee did for Feldstein (work of quality, possibly due to the fact that Al could think ‘visually’) until the editors concl...
Apologies, Don Martinfans, but this back view from a 1974 cover (#165) was the closest ‘MAD’s Maddest Artist’ got to drawing Alfred. Martin covers generally had the Norman Mingo AEN head in facsimile, alongside the MAD logo.
Robert (Bob) Clarke‘swork was clean and professional. His background in advertising enabled Bob to handle broader art chores which were less suited to those with more specialist skills. Clarke’s version of Neuman was close to the Mingo original and – as shown here – Bob was versatile and prolific…
While ‘purists’ may choose otherwise, some see NORMAN MINGOas the definitive MAD cover artist. Mingo was versed in magazine illustration before coming to MAD, and his early MAD covers look almost like spoofs of ‘that type’ of magazine cover. Mingo was initially disgruntled when he learned that it was MAD whose ad he had responded to. Nonetheless, c...
Depending on when they began reading MAD, some followers see MORT DRUCKERas a regular MAD cover artist, based on more than two dozen quality frontal contributions with classics including Hulk-a-Mania, The Simpsons, Home Alone and Wild, Wild West. Others regard Mort primarily as an internal MAD artist, due to the strength of his history of monochrom...
From 1957, issue # 31, BASIL WOLVERTON’s ‘spaghetti-and-meatballs’ look, seemingly tailor-made for MAD, was ironically not publisher Bill Gaines’s favourite. Wolverton’s style was almost inimitable, the rule-proving exception being his son Monte, who also worked for MAD.
