I proposed this previously. Now Im thinking maybe its too easy. Perhaps 75% of the points instead

Thanks. I'm OK. I haven't been out of my bungalow at all for four weeks. Woolies' delivery for old people has saved me! My family back home is doing OK. I've been in touch with some I haven't for a while because of this. I have four cousins in California in their 70s who are doing OK. You and your family take care, too.

Mort Drucker 91 Cartoonist for Mad Magazine for 55 years



When the magazine's parody of The Empire Strikes Back was published in 1980, drawn by Drucker, the magazine received a cease and desist letter from George Lucas' lawyers demanding that the issue be pulled from sale, and that Mad destroy the printing plates, surrender the original art, and turn over all profits from the issue.

Unbeknownst to them, George Lucas himself had just sent Mad an effusive letter praising the parody, and declaring, "Special Oscars should be awarded to Drucker and DeBartolo, the George Bernard Shaw and Leonardo da Vinci of comic satire."[15][16] Publisher Gaines mailed a copy of the letter to Lucas' lawyers with a handwritten message across the top: "That's funny, George liked it!"[17]

There was no further communication on the matter.[18] Drucker had also worked on the advertising campaign for Lucas' earlier film American Graffiti. In his introduction to the Mad About Star Wars book, Lucas wrote, "I have always defended Mad from my lawyers."

 

[wally funk]

I always wanted to be able to draw as skillfully as Mort Drucker. The guy is legendary.

 

[Beerfish]

I'm pretty sure I have that issue of Mad somewhere too.
