Bold words, sir -- some would say heretical!

I like Kurtzman's Mad mags, but tend to look at the layouts & art moreso than read them. I do prefer Kurtzman's comic book work to his Help, Trump & Humbug stuff. I suppose I prefer the idea of what he was doing in those mags to the reality. But I have a deep, unqualified affection for all things Kurtzman.
