The Resume

    Cartoonist for Mad, Cracked, and Don Martin Magazines

Why he might be annoying:

    He punctuated grotesque actions with words like SKLORTCH! and POIT! and FOINSAPP!
    His license plate read 'SHTOINK.'
    He frequently used the name Fonebone in his comics.
    He left Mad Magazine after a falling-out with its publisher, William M. Gaines, over reprint rights and royalties (1987).
    He created a short-lived magazine named after himself (1994).
    He was divorced.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He contributed comics to Mad Magazine for 32 years.
    He suffered from a degenerative eye condition which required him to undergo a special cornea replacement surgery. Eventually, he needed to use very special eyeglasses and magnifying glass to sketch his drawings.
    He was called 'Mad's Maddest Artist.'
