Mad's Greatest Artists: Don Martin #[nn]
A hilarious send-up of "Gentle Ben" sees a park ranger and his perpetually exasperated family trying to coexist with a bear who’s far more polite—and far less prone to chaos—than they are. Written by Dick DeBartolo and drawn with manic energy by Don Martin, this classic satire features Martin’s signature visual gags and absurd situations, all rendered in his unmistakable inks. The cover, also by Don Martin, captures the cartoon’s chaotic charm in full.
