Mad Magazine's Spy V Spy

Tweet

I have always been a big fan of Mad Magazine, the satirical US comic. A regular feature in it is Spy V Spy, a proto-type comic strip that inspired the Simpsons Itchy & Scratchy TV cartoons much loved by Bart & Lisa. Spy V Spy were rival spies who set up elaborate booby traps for each other. Sometimes white Spy won. Sometimes Black spy won. They were drawn in black & white silhouette form, and rarely had any dialogue. There was a short lived cartoon series of their shenanigans which can be seen on Youtube and here is an extract.
