Throwback Thursday Presents: When I was in 6th grade living in New Jersey, I decided to skip school one day and take a train into New York City to go try to visit the offices of MAD Magazine. At that point, I wanted to be a cartoonist, so I made my way there, and got a tour by none other than William Gaines, the publisher. They also gave me a couple of cheap, crummy souvenirs like this one, which several of the artists signed for me. It was a most excellent adventure!
