Was reading some MAD stuff and came across this cartoon and just started laughing. Sergio's work is always funny, but the guy leaving with his purchase in this panel is utterly hilarious !!

Aragones :cloud9:

 

I recognize this...the guy with the leg in a cast is faking just to get more money for the equipment he "can't use anymore". In the next panel he should take off the fake cast with a smile and a butt load of dough! :grin:

This is a personal favorite of mine. You should come see our ambulance fleet. This cartoon is more accurate than I care to think about.....

I guess I do not get it. What is the guy carrying away? It looks like it is drawn wrong, like one of those optical illusion tests

 

lollol

 

It is the impossible fork. Used often as in Mad.

As a side-note, Sergio's new comic "SA's Funnies" comes out from Bongo in a couple of weeks!

 

Excellent !! :applause: .... and WTTB

 

I met Sergio at a con once many years ago. he signed and sketched my Groo graphic novel. :cloud9:

Sergio, is the main reason upon how I became captivated with funny books. It was his art and humor (Groo really) that got me hook, line and sinker.

(Read my set description for my Groo Pacifics)

Argones = ^^

Sergio is a true gent. When he saw my little girls in line waiting to meet him years ago he waved them to the front of the line and drew an awesome sketch of Groo for them.

 

This is so classy. I bet there are lots of stories about Sergio like this. One of our hobbys gems. Thx for sharing the stories :cloud9:

The "Mad POIUYT"...first seen here:

That cover is classic, however if you notice the dates on that cover and Sergios cartoon, you might have to reconsider your position on its first use :grin:

All I ever heard from people is that Sergio is one of the nicest guys out there at cons or in public. He enjoys doing his sketches and so proud of his work. Like noted above, enjoys kids and obliged to make them feel important. A TRUE GEM to our hobby indeed!!
