Don Martin was a celebrated cartoonist best known for his work with MAD Magazine, where he contributed from 1955 onwards. His unique style featured characters with long chins and floppy feet, emphasizing slapstick and dark humor. Known for integrating pop culture and literary references, Martin's work included notable influences from King Kong and Kafka's Metamorphosis. After a dispute with his publisher in 1987, he joined Cracked, leading to significant struggles for MAD. Despite his departure, Martin's legacy continued with reprints in later editions until his death from cancer in 2000.
