91, that is a fuckin' good run. This is even better. RIP Mort and thanks for the laughs. Mad helped make my teenage years just a little bit better

Screw that guy's parents. F man, hopefully your next run is just as great.

Mort is "dead" not "death" which is even worse, what were they thinking?
Hunter Scott
Are there ANY original illustrators left alive?
Wyatt Jones
Mods better sticky this shit. Dude was massively influential to several artists, including Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz
Personally I never found his parodies *too* funny, but the amazing drawings kept me captivated
Eli Brooks
Rest in piece
91 isn't a bad year to go out
Nathan Gutierrez
>Dude was massively influential to several artists
Like Monkey Punch,which just reminded me he died only late last year. Fuck this shit.

Michael Miller

I remember that on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast, he and his co-host interviewed Al Jaffee and Dick DeBartolo, and Jaffee commented that Drucker wasn't doing so well. The interview was back in 2016.
Jaxson Gray
J Scott Campbell cites Drucker as his main influence and it's easy to see why
Easton Martin
Christopher Allen
Ah fuck.
Brayden Morris
Neal Adams also cited Drucker as an influence.
Carson Martinez
Josiah White
Interesting, makes total sense in retrospect

Fellow MADman Tom Richmond remembers Mort.

Adams did a parody of the 70's show McCloud, in a Drucker-like style in Crazy Magazine #2.
