Monday MADness: My First MAD Movie Parody!
With Desmond Devlin and I doing our CLAPTRAP book project to keep the movie parody comics genre alive, I thought we’d take a look at my very first movie parody in MAD. This spoof of the four time Academy Award winning film “Traffic” was written by Arnie Kogen, and appeared in MAD #405, May 2001. Clicky any image to embiggen…

I did three movie spoofs (and one TV spoof) for Cracked magazine before starting with MAD, so this one was not my first actual movie parody printed in a humor magazine, but it was the first one in MAD.
