Comic-Con special guest
Dick DeBartolo talks about the bizarre way
MAD bought his first piece and the mad way William M. Gaines, founder and publisher, ran
MAD (such as white wine in the water cooler and free trips to foreign countries for members of the Usual Gang of Idiots!). He also talks about how, while working at Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions, his
MAD background saved
The Match Game from being canceled. In the Q&A Dick will answer questions about
MAD, TV game shows, and his (and Gaines's) love of gadgets. He will not entertain any history, math, or geography questions. In a desperate attempt to get people to attend, Dick will give some
MAD stuff away at his presentation.
