Joho notes that Mad Magazine illustrator Kelly Freas died today at age 82. He was responsible for many of the greatest early Mad Magazine covers. I grew up on these. Joho lists many of Freas' other accomplishments, including designing the official NASA patch for Skylab.
Here's the full AP report. (I was going to reproduce a low-fi vintage cover here in thumbnail size, but all the official website images are set at "no-copy", so I'll respect that urge for profit by his heirs.)
