Forget it, Jake. It’s Friday.

Rolling news update today:

MILESTONES 

• Tomorrow, Dave Kellett’s Sheldon hits the big 2000. (h/t FLEEN)

DEAD TREES

• Boing Boing writes up the new compilation of Don Martin material from the archives of MAD magazine:

In its heyday, MAD magazine was required reading for happy mutants. Every (cheap!) issue was jam-packed with terrific cartoons, highlarious parody, social commentary disguised as sophomoric humor, and quite a few jokes that I pretended to get but was secretly too young to understand. The Don Martin Department was always my favorite section (along with Dave Berg’s strips and the sacred fold-in) so I’m salivating over the publication of The Completely MAD Don Martin, a beautifully-packaged two-volume collection of everything Martin ever did for MAD, from 1957 to 1987.
