Don Martin (May 18, 1931 – January 6, 2000) was an American cartoonist whose best-known work was published in Mad from 1956 to 1988. His popularity and prominence were such that the magazine promoted Martin as "Mad's Maddest Artist."

FOINK! WHAPPA WHAAPPA FLAP!

I would describe Don Martin's style as the one that kids would copy if they wanted to start learning how to make cartoons. His characters were invariably weird, bulbous nosed, large footed tongue-wagging crazies ready to pounce on their surroundings. Added to the mix was his absurd Dada-esque sense of humor.

I remember one where a character saw a bug on a street sidwalk...

...

Being a mean person, he of course stomped on the bug to kill it...

 

... should've waited for the other shoe to drop!
