Today won't end. Goodbye, MAD Magazine. As a youngster I was a huge fan of the 70's era, as a young adult I rediscovered the 50's comics, as an old nerd I somehow became a contributor (often working w/@colorkitten) for the last decade +. Getting the e-mail today was crushing.
Grateful to @dantelfer for our gig during the L.A. era. Grateful to everyone for so many opportunities in NYC. It was a dream, a blast and a decent paycheck. MAD still sells more copies than most comics, but obviously that isn't enough with overhead and quarterly bean counting.
I don't feel bad for myself, we were discussing new work but nothing set or soon. We had a good run. Seeing MAD close down hurts, especially during a morbidly depressing year for cartoonists and the comics industry in general. And my heart goes out to the Usual Gang freelancers.
