mcMüller's (illustrated, linked) Christmas list — chapter 1

There's a bunch of right-down-my-alley artwork on eBay right now that I would buy (for myself) if Katie would let me. She won't let me buy it, though (fair enough), so I'm doing as my mom and dad always used to advise: I'm putting it on my Christmas list.

To make things easy for you, I'm including prices, illustrations, and links to the eBay pages on which these items can be purchased.

MY CHRISTMAS LIST — CHAPTER 1
Drawing of terrified children cowering in a corner, $39.99:



Original Al Jaffee artwork (from MAD #262), $29.99:



Dave Berg art (from a 1966 MAD book), $195.95:





1988 portrait of Mike Dukakis as an incompetent infielder (from the back cover of MAD #282), $295.00:



That does it for chapter 1. I'll report back on the success of this little experiment at the end of December....

I would like to state for the record that Brian already bought one of these illustrations from ebay even after I told him that he couldn't buy one for himself. Now granted it was only $12, but I would like everyone to know that though I am undertaking the silly task of keeping us within our means, Brian is far from being deprived by my killjoy-ness. Gee wiz.

Note to holiday shoppers:

I didn't buy one of these (shown). All the artwork above is still available to purchase for me for Christmas.

i really hope no one gets into a bidding war do your lack of a registry website. just kidding! or maybe ebay has ways of dealing with that.
