Regular visitors of my blog will know that I was the editor of the Dutch Mad for a year. we managed to produce six issues I am very proud of. But most proud I am of the series I did with Dutch artist Mars Gremmen. In every issue we did three sadistic jokes about a group of universally hated people, such as 'end of the world profetists', 'nurses' or 'referees'. It was called Mars Attacks. Well it wasn't, the Dutch title Mars Rekent Af... translates best as 'Mars Takes On...' and that's what I have been using, but I just now thought Mars Attacks would be perfect. In these episodes from Mad #2 he takes on 'bankers'. I thought it would be great for the American Mad as well, but they didn't snap it up.

Final Account
Saturday Leftover Day.
So the Dutch Mad stopped with issue #6. What I'll miss most is working wit the hugely tlented Mars Gremmen. Together we did did three pages of his series Mars Rekent Af (Mars Gets Even With) in every issue. For #5 we did soccer referees. It'll probably not mean as much to my American friends as it does to us, but maybe the Australians and British will egt it. I'd give anything to be able to continue this series.

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Mars
Tuesday Comic Strip Day.
Tomorrow the first issue of the Dutch Mad will be published here in Holland. I am very proud of the result and would love to share all of it with my American friends. On the other hand, giving it all away online may not be such a good idea. So here are two samples, a slightly older version of our cover (with one minor mistake in the text we repaired at the last moment) and the first of three pages by Mars Gremmen. he does a feature I am very fond of, called Mars Rekent Af..., which roughly means Mars Finishes Off... In this series, he will take on a new deserving group. In the first issue it's Luddites, in the second one it will be Bankers or Investors, etc. If you want to see more, you can subscribe on our website, www.madmag.nl. The cover is by illustrator Wouter Tulp, who will probably be our regular cover artist.
I am also very pleased with this Hugh Laurie caricature with one of the 'Fundalini' items Milan Hulsing (whose graphic novel City of Clay is doing very well all over Europe).
