The artist who drew “It’s a World, World, World, World, MAD” will be greatly missed.

Thank you for bringing a note of sanity into a crazed world. You made survival possible for lots of us.

Mad Magazine was a staple for me and an influence on my sometimes outrageous sense of humor growing up in Detroit.Who can forget Spy versus Spy and other satirical send-ups?

MAD Magazine is undoubtedly the genesis of my warped and sarcastic sense of humor.

I recall reading about the Mad gang finding out their sole subscriber in the Dominican Republic dropped his subscription.

Al Jaffe, Dave Berg, and the others flew to the DR to convince the guy to renew his subscription.

Jack illustrated a lot of zany LP covers too.

One of the last of the original EC Comics artists, I believe.

Mad (the comic book) started at EC Comics which became Mad Magazine to avoid the comics code authority (which was more to suppress competition to DC and MLJ/Archie in the 50’s rather than to protect the innocent young comic readers). Spa Fon!

BTW, other EC artists included Jack Kamen whose son is the inventor Dean Kamen.

RIP Jack Davis! I loved that mag when I was growing up. Such great entertainment packed into every issue. I browse through it in the grocery store sometimes, enjoying the memories.

Thanks to MAD and Jack Davis for shaping my formative years.

Not only for MAD, but he also did some LITTLE ANNIE FANNY for PLAYBOY.

His movie posters are instantly recognizable.

Jack Davis - he shares top honors with Windsor McCay, Walt Kelly, Al Capp and Darby Conley (Get Fuzzy) in my own personal cartoonists’ Hall of Fame.

I can’t possibly describe my delight whenever I ran across one of Davis’ works, be it a feature in Mad, a TV Guide cover or some advertisement. He brought me a lot of joy.

Thanks and RIP, Jack.

Jack Davis was great. He illustrated about a million comic books in the 50’s and 60’s.

He was a proud Georgia Bulldog and drew countless illustrations for the football program.

I loved SPYvsSPY and still love do.RIP Jack.

[tang-soo]

Don’t know if he drew them, but my favorite was Spy vs Spy. Also for some reason, the memory of “Dustbin Hoffman” came to mind.

A friend of mine has issues going back to the 1950s. Great stuff! I remember a recurring page called “Scenes We’d Like To See”.
