Johnny Sampson’s MAD FOLD-IN Demo
@ Co-Prosperity
3219 S Morgan St, Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Saturday, September 30th, from 2:30 - 3:30
Johnny Sampson, MAD Magazine’s “Last Idiot Standing”, walks and talks you through the many steps of creating a MAD Fold-In. He has been the sole writer and artist of the venerable feature since Al Jaffee’s retirement in 2020. From concept to publication (yes, MAD is still in print), witness him recount the ridiculously time-consuming process of producing a Fold-In while sharing anecdotes about working for the celebrated magazine.
