Harvey Kurtzman

Harvey Kurtzman (October_3, 1924 - February_21, 1993), U.S. cartoonist and magazine editor. In 1952, he was the founding editor of the comic book Mad for EC Comics publisher Bill Gaines, later creating the magazine's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman. Kurtzman was equally well known for the long-running Little Annie Fanny stories in Playboy magazine from 1962 to 1988, parodying the very attitudes that Playboy promoted. Because Mad had a considerable impact on popular culture, Kurtzman was later described by the New York Times as having been "one of the most important figures in postwar America."
