This particular item is one of a few that were given to the staff of MAD by the creator, who hoped that MAD would license it for sale.

Here's a super rare piece of Alfred E. Neuman memorabilia. Produced in 1960 by Crestline Enterprises, this is an Alfred E. Neuman handpuppet. The face on this puppet appears to be hand-painted, and shows a terrific likeness. The cloth body does not appear to be original, as most of the Alfred E. Neuman handpuppets that I have seen have a blue & white checkered design on the cloth body. In any event, MAD Magazine collectors are most interested in the face and head, which in this instance, does not disappoint. The words, "What Me Worry", can be found underneath the cloth body, underneath the chin, while the words, "Crestline Enterprises", can be found at the base on the back of the head. Measuring approx. 10 1/2" from the top of the head to the bottom of the cloth body, this super rare item is in Excellent display condition.

END OF SESSION ONE

Session Two - Saturday, October 27, 2018(
Click to jump back to Session One)

ALL OF THE ITEMS IN THIS SESSION ARE FROM THE COLLECTION OF
MAD MAGAZINE SENIOR EDITOR EMERITUS, MR. CHARLIE KADAU (KAY-DOO)

Hello!

Welcome to my auction, “Ex-Crap From New York”! I suppose I could have also called it “Storage Bores,” or even “Chairman of the Hoard.”

After 33 years at MAD, as we were shutting down the New York office (New York having been MAD’s home since 1952 – 65 years!) I realized my space had become more a storage unit than an office. So I decided to give Tim Johnson a call and have an auction!

MAD was a pretty big thing in my adolescent and teen years, and my head still spins at the notion I got to work side-by-side with the greater-than-great MAD creators of that era: Jaffee, Jacobs, Aragones, Martin, Berg, Drucker, Clarke, Davis, DeBartolo, Prohias, Coker, Siegel, Torres, Woodbridge, Edwing, Porges, Hart, Silverstone, Schild, Kogen, Koch, and of course William M. Gaines, Al Feldstein, and Nick Meglin, among others. There are more greater-than-greats, but they died before I joined the staff…the nerve!

Besides that, I got to work with all the massively talented “new kids” that came on board during my tenure, as well as the talented, funny and maddening people I shared office space and masthead space with over the years. To them all, I say “Salud!”, especially Joe Raiola, who I was writing with 10 years BEFORE joining MAD – without our collaboration, I don’t think either of us would be where we are today – unemployed!

The chance to correspond, converse, meet and greet with hundreds of MAD’s “Fan-Addicts” over the years is also a cherished storehouse of memories I will always have – this auction is a chance to share some MAD material and memorabilia with those I’ve met and many more I haven’t! I also needed to free up some room in my home (remember, I don’t have an office anymore!) And rest assured – I kept some pretty great stuff for my own collection!

Many items in this auction were given to me over the years by Bill Gaines, Annie Gaines Ashton, Nick Meglin, John Ficarra, Lenny Brenner, other staff members and contributors, or rescued just before they were put in the trashcan (often confused with MAD’s “In Box”)! To mark this furshlugginer occasion, all items won here will include a numbered certificate of authenticity (big deal!) featuring an Al Jaffee-drawn image and signed by me (again – big deal!)

Super Special thanks to John Ficarra and a special dedication to my friend Nick Meglin, whom we lost much too soon – like a fine wine, he kept getting better with age. And many thanks to Tim Johnson, who graciously agreed to let me take over part of his excellent auction, and also curated what’s here!


MADly,

Charlie Kadau
MAD Senior Editor Emeritus (or is it Embarrassus?), October, 2018

Lot #109 - MAD On Board Airline Edition Prototype Mock-Up RARE MB $50

THIS DESCRIPTION IS DIRECTLY FROM CHARLIE: Here is its story as best I can recall: either in conjunction with or suggested by DC’s ad exec at the time was the idea of producing a short magazine for kids that would be supplied to airlines and be available on flights if bored or anxious kids needed an activity. It would be paid for with ads and promote MAD the magazine (and maybe MAD Kids). This is the only copy in existence. The art staff was asked to put together a sample issue using already-existing MAD material chosen by the editors, including from MAD Kids, and repurpose it for this project. The only thing I think was “new” was the piece using isolated MAD art and erasing part of it so kids could “finish” it themselves. I don’t recall if it was ever actually pitched to airlines or advertisers; whether airlines or advertisers rejected the idea if it was, or whether the ad exec left the company before it could be pitched, or enthusiasm for it just faded. Either way, nothing came of it. This sample is literally held together with rubber cement, which used to be plentiful in MAD’s offices – explains a lot!

My description: In Excellent display condition. Some of the glued pages are separating, however.

The MAD voting sheets go back to a time when scripts were submitted by mail -- the editors didn't want their check or X mark (or scathing comments and poorly rewritten gags) on the pages that were mailed back to the writers, so a voting sheet provided both anonymity and an easy reference in script conferences. This was one of the final incarnations of the voting sheet, created right around the time we realized that with email, they weren't really necessary anymore." Measuring approx. 8 1/2" by 11", this sheet is in Near Mint condition, with ultra-light handling and storage wear.

Lot #152 - Cracked Magazine #271 w/ Attached Jerry DeFuccio Business Card MB $15

Published in 1992 by Globe Communications, this is issue #271 of Cracked Magazine. This issue is of interest to MAD Magazine memorabilia collectors for a few reasons: 1) Former MAD artist, Don Martin, appears on the front cover. 2) There is a signed Cracked business card, stapled to the front cover. Former MAD Magazine associate editor, Jerry DeFuccio, was the editor of Cracked, and he signed his business card and stapled it to the front cover. He wrote the pictured message on the back of his business card. The front is unmarked. 3) This issue was sent to Bill Gaines from Jerry DeFuccio, probably in an attempt to accentuate the fact that MAD Magazine artist, Jack Rickard, hardly appears in the book, Completely MAD. Kind of like a "F....ck YOU, Bill!" This issue is in Fair/Good condition, just because of a large cover split at the top of the spine, running down to almost the bottom staple.

Each major contributor had a box of self-adhesive address labels kept in MAD’s offices and made to be used when corresponding. This is the box for Don Martin – which I’m pretty sure is the only one left in existence!"

The final cover included Eminem as one of several personalities reacting to the statue. In cover meetings, you had a bunch of writers trying to push ideas they sketched themselves on the spot – once displayed, it was only after the derisive insults and laughter over the editor’s poor drawing ability subsided that the idea would be discussed on its merits. That’s why having actual artists around like Nick and Sam made things easier."
