In my opinion Mort Drucker is the greatest caricaturist of all time. His spot-on celebrity lampoons are in large
part why MAD magazine has been so popular over the decades.
I'm old enough to remember Mort's work in EC Comics (parent of MAD magazine)
and some of his first MAD magazine work.
form the very beginning his artwork captured the very essence of whomever he
targeted. For 50 years Mort's caricatures
have graced the pages of MAD and here's hoping they'll be many more.
Mr. Drucker is one of the true all-time greats of the comic book and
cartooning community. His artwork has inspired thousands of young artist (me
included) and spawned many imitators. But
no one can capture the likenesses of actors, actresses, political figures and celebrities
like Mort.
