Some of those people on the Rainbow Bridge look awful familiar
From the tenth of issue of NOT BRAND ECCH, Jack Kirby decides to throw in some celebrities from 1968. I imagine that, in a lot less than four decades, current hot numbers like Megan Fox or Will Smith will have become the answer to trivia questions. ("Who were the MEN IN BLACK?" "Oh, heck, I know that... Dan Ackroyd, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis, right?")

(I believe the gorilla with the lollipop is not anyone in particular, just any of a number of lollipop gorillas you used to see on TV...)

	Still, it is the trademark of a rival parody magazine, it's almost like putting a caricature of Ronald McDonald on a bag for Burger King kid meals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I see your point, but I imagine it would seem hypocritical for Bill Gaines to complain about Marvel using a caricature of our Alf once in a while, when MAD was not much else but spoofs. Spider-Man and the Hulk were shown in MAD many times. (Usually drawn by Don Martin, of course.) (Reply to this) (Parent)
