I see what you did there.
Duck Edwing, MAD Magazine cartoonist.
Fun fact: Duckās wife Clair, was known as āCluckā!
God damnit and truth be told the surviving usual gang of idiots arenāt getting any younger either.
You aināt kiddinā. Frank Jacobs and Mort Drucker are 87 years old. Al Jaffee is in his mid-90s. Jack Davis died earlier this year.

Bing, Elvis, Chaplin, Groucho, Joan Crawford?
Anthony Eden? Werner von Braun?
Freddie Prinze, Zero Mostel, Guy Lombardo too.
Well, Iāve heard of one of those and the son of anotherā¦
Oh, COME ON.
Fuck you with a Sith lightsaber, 2016.
Iām plenty old enough to remember '77. This year has been worse.

You and me both, man.
