Mad magazine illustrator Mort Drucker dies at 91
NEW YORK (AP) — One of Mad Magazine’s most loved and enduring illustrators has died. Mort Drucker, the Mad Magazine cartoonist who for decades lovingly spoofed politicians, celebrities and popular culture, died Thursday at 91. Drucker joined Mad in its early days, the mid-1950s, and remained well into the 21st century. Few major events or public figures during that time escaped Drucker’s attention, from “Star Trek” to Jerry Seinfeld. In large strokes, Drucker took in every crease, crevice and bold feature. The big jaw of Jay Leno bulged even larger, while the ears of Barack Obama looked like wings about to take flight.
