SUNDAY FUNNIES!! Melvin of the Apes, 2


This is the 2nd episode of Melvin of the Apes that MAD comic book had.  The story was written by Editor Harvey Kurtzman and drawn by John Severin.  John was so good at drawing body language.  Also, unless you are a compulsive MAD comicbook fan you might know this:  John and Harvey were in school together and the best of friends.  They , along with Will Elder, co-rented a movie studio and freelanced, before MAD became an opportunity.John only lasted several issues and then disappeared  from MAD but did reappear in CRACKED and SICK.  It appears that Harvey and John had a falling out, which may have cost both of them.
