I remember opening this when they sent to my house when I had my subscription to MAD.
Mort Drucker could nail the characters in such detail. I use to ALWAYS look forward so seeing his latest work. He use to take grey halftones and completely show the character so they pop right off the page.
Al Jaffee was another favorite. A full-color Painting Fold-In. I use to never want to fold and damage the backs of my copy. I remember my Uncle Mike Stefani had giving me his collection and they had all been folded. George of the Jungle Comic Book found along with a large collection of old MAD Magazines. 1975-1988. Plus some 1940's comic books of Yogi Bear and Heckle and Jeckle. Talk about your pinks and green here.
Story and Character Design
The duck has no clothes, is in black silhouette. Perfect for animation.
Daffy shakes the egg he's watching to hear what's inside, while he prepares for a magic trick with it.
Ala-Kaz-Zam! . . . and the egg he's suppose to be watching disappears. Perspective is everywhere going all which ways. The background is minimal. Drawing is hilarious!
