again, i have to thank jean-lucien for sending me this. it is, of course, the first panel of the MAD magazine parody of the 1968 roman polanski horror flick, 'rosemary's baby.' i love this movie. i have it on heavy rotation, and i think i know it by heart. this MAD strip was the first exposure i had to this film. it's Mort Drucker at his late 60's best. i love all the fine inkwork, and all the hidden jokes drawn into the background. this scan is actually pretty good. however, i think the john cassavetes illustration is a lot more accurate than the mia farrow. (in this frame, anyway.) man, i don't know what i would've done without vintage MAD's growing up. (click to enlarge.)
