These hilarious strips parodying Dracula were by the late, great Don Martin. They appeared in MAD #213 (March 1980) and were reprinted in MAD SUPER SPECIAL (Winter 1986) and again in MAD #33 (October 2023). For reasons unknown to me, the most recent reprint Warner Bros./DC Comics decided to take Martin's name off the title and replaced it with "Mad Looks At ... DRACULA" (?!).
Don Martin deserves credit where credit is due, I say! They credited him in a couple of other strips in the same issue but not this one. They did leave his name on the last panel at least. Martin is of course well-known for his zany humor and off-the-chart sound effects.
Anyway, MAD is just a desiccated shell in my opinion. From what I understand the print edition is made up of reprints with scant new material and now only being distributed via the direct market and subscriptions. What a shame. Yes, Me Worry!
Come back this afternoon for more MAD-ness!
