Mort Drucker, who worked more than five decades at MAD, was best known for his parodies of films and television shows. In photo above, Drucker takes a break from his pencils for a quick pose. Cuban-American artist Antonio Prohias drew the wordless espionage feature "Spy Vs.
Spy" from 1961 until 1987. The current longtime artist is Peter Kuper. The endless battles between the White Spy and Black Spy — with occasional appearances by the female Gray Spy — became one of MAD magazine's most well-known cartoons.
Michael Corleone of "The Godfather" became "Micrin Minnestrone" in Mort Drucker's "Odd Father II" in the December 1972 issue of MAD. Many Drucker art pieces are displayed at "What, Me Worry? The Art and Humor of Mad Magazine" at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass. Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, chief curator of the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Mass.
