Painting by Scott Bricher, "Dogs Playing Video Games", May 2004, included as a poster in #MadMagazine issue # 441. This is a riff on the classic 1903 painting "A Friend in Need" (aka "dogs playing poker"). These #dogs are playing #Halo on an #xbox.
(I think those are Polk Legend tower speakers, but not positive.)
One of a series of illustrations by Jack Davis, called "The Mad Primer of Bigots, Extremists and Other Loose Ends" for #MadMagazine in Sept 1969 (issue # 129). They were accompanied by this text, written by Frank Jacobs:
See the Super Patriot.
Hear how he hates "Liberals"...
And "Moderates" ... and "Intellectuals"...
And "Activists" ... and "Pacifists"
And "Minority Groups" ... and "Aliens"...
And "Unions" ... and "Teenagers"...
And the "Very Rich" ... and the "Very Poor"...
And "People with Foreign-Sounding Names"...
Now you know what a Super Patriot is.
He's someone who loves his country
While hating 93% of the people who live in it.
Visited the Mad Magazine retrospective at the Norman Rockwell Museum the other day, and was reminded how much I loved Mad (and especially Spy Vs Spy) as a tween. This strip is the apotheosis IMHO.
