Mort Drucker, best known for his 55-year career drawing caricatures of TV and film in Mad magazine, died on Wednesday. He was 91.
Drucker’s death was announced by the National Cartoonists Society.
“It would be difficult to adequately describe the influence Mort had on multiple generations of cartoonists, not to mention caricaturists. Virtually any professional cartoonist will light up at the mention of his name and praise his work,” the organization said on Thursday. “Mort was a true master of the craft of visual storytelling, and his work transcended the boundaries of the different applications of the comic medium. He could do it all, from realistic comic book work to the silliest of cartoons to everything in between.”
