Harvey Kurtzman, the mastermind behind Mad’s golden age (in convenient comic book form, not as a bulky, cumbersome magazine) is being featured in a retrospective at the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (located in the Society of Illustrators) in Manhattan. Hoo, and might I add hah.

If you’re any kind of fan of comics, cartoon art, modern American humor (by that I mean post-WWII), absurdity, fine pen work, the better things in life, chicken fat, Little Annie Fanny, and all things Melvin, by all means, get thee to the show. It runs till May 31, 2013, at the Society of Illustrators. That’s on the lovely, tony, trés hah-schwah Upper East Side of Manhattan at 128 East 63rd Street (between Park and Lexington Avenues).

Don’t be a schmuck. Make the show. Whattaya, meshuggeneh?

That is all.
