Dave Berg dead at 81

I haven’t read Mad Magazine since I was in my early teens and at that point it was an obsession. I still have a large box of them stuffed in my closet. Dave Berg produced ‘The Lighter Side of…’ almost through the entire history of Mad Magazine. He missed the first four years as Mad started in 1952 and he joined in 1956. One of the best things about the “The Lighter Side” was that Berg would often draw Mad celebrities in his drawings and it was a good opportunity for a fan like me to get an impression of how the ‘Usual Gang of Idiots’ were in real life. Thanks for the memories!
