Ojai Valley Museum/ MAD about Sergio Aragones

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

This looks like it will be alot of fun. If you've loved all those little corner gags in Mad Magazine or any of his other comic work, this is very cool. I've had several encounters with the man who is just a riot.

Sergio is awesome. I met him many years ago at a convention in Seattle.

They were one of my favourite parts of the mag !! I still remember one in particular that had a kid reluctantly going through the 'tunnel of terror' funhouse with his father, crying and keeping his head in his fathers chest, then once outside, begging to go through it again.

He and Al Jaffee were at the top of my list.

When I was in NY in 1977 I took the Mad magazine tour and met Sergio and Bill Gaines. It was such a mind blowing thing for a kid raised on the usual gang of idiots. SA drew me a little picture, which I should probably frame one day.
