SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN! By KERRY CALLEN Mad #47 just hit the stands Dec. 10. When I was told the theme for the issue was “the workplace,” I thought I should probably avoid doing my typical superhero-themed jokes. It seemed like an ill fit. However, I then thought, “But I LOVE drawing superheroes! Maybe I can make it work.” I took a quick look on the internet and found common things people hate about their jobs, and the rest fell into place. Here’s an excerpt: Please pick up Mad #47 to see the rest! If you don’t already have a subscription, you can find it at finer comic shops. It’s also available digitally.

SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN! By KERRY CALLEN In the years 2009 to 2012, there existed an active website called Covered: Artists Re-Interpreting Comic Covers. It contained a lot of fantastic work by a wide variety of artists. It also contained some of my work. At the time, I had gotten out of the habit of drawing and decided to start again. I contributed eight reimagined covers. In many ways, it’s where I developed my own current “superhero art” style. I thought it would be fun to share them here at 13th Dimension! * * * I’ve always liked the cover to 1962’s The Flash #133, with great art by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson. It’s so goofy and intriguing. How could a kid resist it?! But, what does “being turned into a puppet” FEEL like exactly?
