Mort Drucker

From Grokipedia

Morris "Mort" Drucker (March 22, 1929 – April 9, 2020) was an American caricaturist and comics artist best known for his contributions to Mad magazine over five decades, where he specialized in detailed satires of films and television shows. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Drucker was entirely self-taught as an artist, beginning his professional career in advertising before transitioning to freelance illustration and entering Mad with a parody in issue #32 in 1957. His work featured precise, expressive caricatures of celebrities combined with cinematic panel layouts that captured the essence of popular media, producing over 300 such parodies that influenced generations of cartoonists and filmmakers. Drucker's achievements include multiple National Cartoonists Society awards, such as the Special Features Award from 1985 to 1988, the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year in 1988, a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014, and the inaugural Medal of Honor in 2015; he also received an Inkpot Award in 1996. He retired from Mad in 2011 after issue #509, leaving a legacy as one of the magazine's most prolific and revered artists.

In brief

Drucker could make a movie star look like himself and like a joke at the same time. Mad sent him the big pictures; he sent back the poster as a roast.

Five decades is a long residency for a pen. The faces changed; the line stayed sure.
