Satirist Will Elder goes to Heaven

[flippyshark]

I will admit that I was actually unaware that Elder was (until now) still alive. As a kid, I spent long hours gazing at all the "chicken fat" in panel after panel of reprints from the early days of MAD. The often surreal, sometimes even creepy, always absurd world they created was, to me, much more compelling than the humor in the main text. (Though that was often quite clever and memorable as well.) I've got teh complete run of MAD on dvd-rom, but i'd love to have a high-quality, line art only bound book of this material. (The scans of old printed pages obscures a lot of the details on the DVD, alas.) Rest in Peace and thanks for all the inspired weirdness, Willie!
