I enjoy his cartoons in <em>Freethought Today</em>. There are a lot of artists that make up <em>Mad Magazine</em>. I thought I remembered Don Addis' name among them but alas can't seem to verify this on-line so I could be wrong. Anyone got any further info? Unfortunatley, although I've been reading <em>Mad</em> since I was 10, I don't keep back issues. (Must put that CD-rom collection on my wish list.) This is a loss!

I've seen some of his cartoons before but had never heard of the man behind it. Well, now I have a reason to look up him and his work to see what I've missed. There must be lots of amazing strips I've yet to see if the ones I have seen so far are any indication of the overall quality of his work. He used to work for MAD? I knew I recognized that style from somewhere other than those online atheist cartoons! That fact just makes him so much greater in my oppinion!
