Join Steve Brodner online, co-curator of What, Me Worry?: the Art and Humor of  MAD Magazine for an illustrated talk about political satire, the art of caricature and Brodner’s reflections on his formative experience growing up reading MAD magazine. The presentation will touch on the many ways MAD Magazine with its rich mix of satire, anti-establishment critique, and irreverent humor helped shape the ethos of an entire generation and set Brodner on his path to becoming one of the nation’s foremost political cartoonists.
