No and yes. How’s that for an ambiguous answer?
There are many forms of writing, but in the traditional sense, meaning do I contribute to the actual script and/or dialogue of a parody I am doing the art for the answer is no. I get a script from MAD with all the dialogue and each panel already written and set. The writer of the parody submits the script to MAD, and he/she is the one who gets the credit (or blame) for the jokes, gags and satire of the piece. The editors do a lot of work on the articles in MAD also, sometimes trimming out panels and gags to make an article more concise, and doing some tweaking to make the gags that are kept as effective as possible. This process is all over by the time I get the script. My job as far as the script is concerned is to make sure my artwork reinforces the gags written into the script, either helping to drive home the jokes or making it easier to understand them. This is called “selling the gag” as I have mentioned before. As I said, there are many forms of writing. One of my favorite parts
