Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOR : Mort Drucker
Mort Drucker (born 1929) is a cartoonist and caricaturist from Brooklyn, New York.
Drucker joined Mad magazine in 1957 and has become well known (and revered by some) for his brilliant parodies of movies and television shows. He manages to combine a comic strip style with consistent photographic likenesses of film and TV stars panel after panel. Drucker is a freelance artist who has also contributed to Time magazine covers.
He has been recognized for his work with the National Cartoonist Society Special Features Award for 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1988, and their Reuben Award for 1987.
