About Harvey Kurtzman
For many years Harvey Kurtzman was just as confused as you are. He thought the idea was to make people happy, and he started many magazines (MAD, TRUMP, HUMBUG) in this misguided endeavor. Now Kurtzman knows better. Now he wants other things (“Ripe bananas…plenty coconuts”). Every morning now he gets up at dawn and runs up to the attic to think. When he has a good thought he runs over to the window and breathes deeply. Then he gives his Tarzan cry and goes looping through the trees.
Harvey Kurtzman is America’s most unusual genius. He has written parody and satire for Esquire, Coronet and other magazines. His books have sold millions of copies. But that is not why he is unusual. Harvey Kurtzman is unusual because his head is pear-shaped!
Out of this pear-shaped head he has produced another splendid book - all about Peter-Gunn type detectives, “adult” Westerns, the D-Generate School of Southern Writing and other facets of our Civilization. You want to buy this book. Yes you do!
