2. Many of us did!

3. We need a national Don Martin Day

He was an early influence on my sense of humor.

[Generic Brad]

4. Don Martin was a national treasure

No one else has ever drawn the way he did. And his humor never ceased to surprise me.

5. "My office was on the 3rd floor. It used to be on the 4th floor, but that's another story."

6. During the Vietnam Era,

my Uncle was a chemistry student in the early 70's at Eastern MI Universities Masters Program. He turned me on to Don Martin. They had a xerox copier in the library on campus. I spent a few dollars (a lot back then) xeroxing one of his books and taught myself how to cartoon collecting the others. Still draw my eyes like Don Martin. MAD Magazine was iconic. The back cover you folded to make a picture, I still have a stack of them in near mint condition.

7. Ahhh..the old fold IN ...

A send up on the “Fold out”

Among the writers credits in every issue;

“The usual gang of idiots”

[ResIpsa]

8. Heh heh.

Indeed.
