Great acting job...
The Art of Harvey Kurtzman
June 11th, 2009
Harvey Kurtzman created MAD Magazine, which is, sadly, apparently about to fold. Kurtzman also inadvertently helped put Monty Python together, as I explained here.
There’s a brand-new book out, called The Art of Harvey Kurtzman, and I’m sure if I buy it for Dennis on his birthday, he’ll buy me a copy for my birthday. That way we don’t feel like we bought our own copies.

Such a beautiful book! The stuff they picked for it was awesome.

I’m looking forward to seeing it. I caught Kurtzman a couple of times in the 70’s at Boston convention appearances. At one of them he was drinking a Bud beer, and when he was done with the can I grabbed it and had him sign it with an indelible marker. I was in college at the time and hid the can in what I thought would be a safe place in my room at home, but to my regret it disappeared.
