A BIRTHDAY SALUTE: The late Mad mainstay was born 94 years ago…

UPDATED 3/22/23: The late, great, Mort Drucker was born 94 years ago, on March 22, 1929 (or March 29, depending on your source). This first ran when the Mad artist died in April 2020 but I like the cover selection, so I’m re-presenting it here as a birthday tribute. Fun stuff! — Dan
