First issue of MAD Magazine I ever read was [Australian MAD, issue 283, with a Derryn Hinch cover by Peter Broelman](http://www.ausreprints.com/content/main/?issue=70643&ms=0&ref=nakedfella.com). I was hooked for years, going back and picking up loads of old issues full of brilliant art by favourites like Jack Davis, Paul Coker, "Duck" Edwing, Don Martin, Sam Viviano... I still have them all. They taught me about important people like Spiro Agnew and Tammy Faye Bakker.

It took 26 years, but I finally got up the nerve to hassle Australian MAD myself. You'll find my first contribution on the back of the current issue, #487! Here's how to read it:

You can imagine how proud I am to have created something that will be visible, scuffed and bent, in dusty closets and on bathroom floors for years to come!
