"The face first came to my attention when I was doing the comic book Mad for publisher William Gaines in the middle fifties... We were working with Ballantine paperback books on the first of a series of Mad reprint collections... I noticed on the Ballantine Book bulletin board a postcard with this face... The face was not unfamiliar. I associated it with the funny‐picture postcards in Times Square penny arcades and tourist traps, this one with the caption “What, Me Worry?” under the bumpkin portrait... So I pocketed the card and rushed back to the workshop where I inserted the “What, Me Worry?” face on and in subsequent issues of Mad Magazine.

So, Alfred E. Newman was someone else's intellectual property, which this Jew, Kertzman, stole and took over. Not something you would normally want to brag about.

Unless you’re a jew, then of course you’d brag about it.

I used to love Mad magazine until I discovered who wrote it.

Sometimes it's better not to know.

I used to like those little margin drawings. And the fold-in on the back cover. The satire was clever but family friendly -- they knew they were writing for teenagers. The artwork was terrific.

Just imagine what they are doing today. Makes me vomit in my mouth.
