Me too. I haven't read Mad Magazine in decades, but I recognize Don Martin's
work. He hasn't lost it.

Even more impressive he can draw like that posthumously.

The Brits also have humour which leaves me cold. You seen one Benny
Hill, you're seen them all. The two Ronnies cracked me up.
Mr. Bean got tired after a while. Still funny though.

Berry can be a fun read.
Carrey and Stiller are just plain stupid. So is Sandler.
The last pratfall that cracked me up was in Wayne's World when that
chick waved at Wayne and smashed into the side of that car (She, in
real life, Danny Ackroyd's wife).
And I'm with you on the dry Brit humour. (Chef has finally grown on
me.)
I'm not familiar with the Brit humorists mentioned, but The Two
Ronnies and Mr. Bean are familiar to me.
I was a Mad fan, also. Maybe that's why we are all so smart, smart,
smart.... recalling Mad's satire on hypnosis, re: "Using effective
techniques like, you're getting sleepy, you're getting sleepy, you're
getting sleepy. We tried it and it didn't work, didn't work, didn't
work."

A true genius. It is hard to take an absurdly funny idea and put it
down on paper so that others can laugh at it.

Dave Berry is another genius. That they border on slapstick is what
keeps them from seeming even better in my mind. I prefer the drier
Brit humor to slapstick and vaudeville. Forced humor like Jim Carrey
and Ben Stiller is obnoxious to me, aka Dumb and Dumberer.
