Your Loss Alfred E. Newman.


April of this year I was notified (through my own research) that MAD Magazine accepts submissions. So I decided to make a comic about the late Gary Gygax. But not in a mocking way. I wanted it to be lighthearted since he always seemed like such a nice guy, and he created a game I always wanted to play since childhood, but never had enough friends to play with (which is the ultra-combo of loser in life's Killer Instinct).

Well MAD magazine let me know that they had passed on my submission when they never replied (which it says they do on their website. So you are notified through the absence of conversation...sort of like a verbal manticore...or masticore). Now I like this comic way too much and refuse to let it die, I decided to give it home here at my desolate blog.

I hope you enjoy, but most of all I hope you can read my tiny writing. Sorry.

-a.

I too enjoy the comic. Especially the way you draw death!
