July 5th, 2007 – Jack Davis in Highlands!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jul.05, 2007, under Cartooning, Other Travels, What\'s New?
As we headed off the mountain of the lodge we stayed for two days, we made our way to Murphy, N.C. We made a few stops along the way for Sandra to take more notes.
One stop was in Highlands, North Carolina. As we strolled the streets we ran into former Mad magazine cartoonist Jack Davis and his wife Dena. Ya never know where you’ll find a cartoonist these days!
The cover shown is from my favorite of Jack Davis collections of art. It’s an entire spoof of movies. I first saw it when it came out 30 years ago and was a definite influence on me and my artwork.

Rob!
Love the new look to the blog site!
I still have that copy of the book shown above that you gave me (hope you don’t want it back!)
Jack Davis is still one of our all time, cartoon heroes. Where would the art form be without him?
