Madman Mort Drucker was an amazing caricaturist. He passed away at age 91 today. I was always impressed with how he was able to capture scenes from movies so faithfully and yet add his distinctive style to the panels.

As an artist I can attest capturing a likeness is very difficult.  Just look at some of the great artists out there that cannot do it.  There's a part of the brain that was magnified in Mort that allowed him to capture any likeness.  Always very jealous of this.  No one came close.
