Apparently I met John Prune when I was on tour. He was at the rainbow family gathering in Shawnee.

Cartoonist Mort Drucker, 91

COD: he was 91

One of the guys responsible for Mad Magazine in its heyday, it's nostalgic just looking at the guy's style of drawing.

It was the only thing we could get that pointed out the stupid shit in the world that nobody else would admit seeing. It validated what we saw and occasionally caused a forehead slap pointing out something we hadn't noticed but would add to your toolbag of critical thinking. That popular internet hook, "you'll never see ____ the same way again", was a Mad guiding principle.

A fantastic caricaturist; never any moments of "wait who's that supposed to be?"

RIP Mort; RIP MAD.
