Somebody should do a retrospective of his work. Where is he based? This could
be very fun.

Hi, Rich,
I'm sure those words were written by Frank Jacobs, a friend of mine and a
movie poster collector as well (mostly 30's + 40's musicals). Everyone
remembers the cartoonists at Mad--- Don Martin, Sergio Arigones
and so many others---but the names of the writers from the early years of Mad
are generally forgotten.
It's really unfortunate because Frank and the other writers came up with a ton
of brilliant material. Frank was the one who usually wrote song parodies like
the one you posted. A truly great talent and a really nice man as
well... Rick
