1. My favorite Don Martin sound effects:
"tikka-tikka-tikka-tikka-tikka-bing!"--typing on a manual typewriter

"foof!" --lighting a gas burner

8. Foinsap!
Ah, I miss the old cartoons... hours and hours of giggly fun as a child reading MAD and Don Martin's books.

Lance Parketrip, Noted Notary Public


Evil old woman: "Ha ha! And you can't do anything to me becuase you're superhero code of ethics forbids you hitting a woman."

Lance: "You're right, we can't hit women. But there's nothing that says we can't shoot them!" (bang bang bang bang bang bang)

10. Ah, yes, what a one-off....

16. Almost.
It's gone commercial, though. It just isn't the same.

13. His Obituary (Salon, January 2000)
"Remembering the Mad magazine cartoonist who created characters like Fester Bestertester and Karbuncle, yet still had the time to invent National Gorilla Suit Day."

http://dir.salon.com/people/obit/2000/01/15/martin/index.html

The link to his work is dead, although there are other sources on the web. All his books are out of print. Time for a big retrospective volume!

...selling original art. Damn, I wish I'd bought one.

15. "Gad, it's Joe Fonebone! He's apparently been run over by a steamroller!"
Of all the Glektopods of the Floonian Age, Don Martin was certainly the most Brapanoid.
