A great guy, a class act, damn smart and funny. Did you know Dick also wrote comedic situations for syndie WML, TTTT and IGAS? All true   ;-)

One of the funniest things I ever read in MAD magazine was a spoof of "Mission: Impossible" called "Mission: Ridiculous," written by one Dick DeBartolo ("That's the most suspicious thing I ever saw!").

And, IIRC, it was drawn by Mort Drucker, who usually handled movie satires while Angelo Torres drew the TV satires.

Has anyone ordered the MG questions he wrote? Seems like a good deal.

We had a thread about them somewhere around here when he first offered them.  I ordered a set for my father, who loved the gift -- he was a fan of the original MG as a teenager.
