“Cartoon Digest”

"Cartoon Digest" in Mad #27 (1956) delivers a sharp, satirical take on a night at the vaudeville show, skewering a ventriloquist, a foreign act, and a stand-up comic with the signature wit of Harvey Kurtzman and the wild, expressive art of Will Elder. The issue closes with a mock judicial ruling from Judge Alfred E. Neuman, all rendered in the chaotic, inventive style defined by Jack Davis, Harvey Kurtzman, and Bill Elder on the cover.
