Humor in a Jugular Vein: A Selection of the Art and
Artifacts of MAD Magazine from the Mark J. Cohen and Rose Marie
McDaniel Collection
May 1 - September 2, 2005
The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library
27 West 17th Avenue Mall, Columbus, Ohio
MADly Yours, a speech by legendary MAD editor Al Feldstein,
is scheduled for 2 p.m., Sunday, May 1, 2005, in the Grand
Lounge, The Ohio State University Faculty Club, 181 South
Oval Drive. A reception to open the exhibit will follow at
the Cartoon Research Library.
Al Feldstein penciled and inked comic book pages professionally
before he graduated from high school. Following service in
World War II, he worked with Bill Gaines at EC Comics where
he created, wrote, illustrated and edited comic books such
as Tales from the Crypt, Weird Science, and Panic. After
EC Comics folded due to the wave of comic book censorship
in the 1950s, Feldstein edited MAD Magazine from issue 29
in 1955 to 1984. He now lives and paints in Montana.
The speech and reception, which are co-sponsored by The
Ohio State University Friends of the Libraries and supported
in part by the Mark J. Cohen and Rose Marie McDaniel Speakers
Endowment, are free and open to the public.
Parking for the May 1 event is available in the Ohio Union
and Arps garages. Due to the Wexner center renovation, access
to the Cartoon Research Library may be limited to walkways
on the east and the north.
