Here we have two tributes to the late, looney Will Elder, who as everyone knows was one of the original artists (some would say the keystone artist) for Mad, and who later illustrated "Little Annie Fanny" for Playboy. On this page, you can read the eulogy which was delivered at the funeral yesterday by Elder's son-in-law, Gary VandenBergh.
Then we have our video link. This is a two-part video and both parts should play, one after the other, in the player below. It's a twenty minute documentary that VandenBergh produced about his father-in-law…a pretty good one, I might add. It says it was released in 2000 but some of the footage is obviously much earlier than that. (Bill Gaines died in 1992 and Harvey Kurtzman died the following year.) The trust that Kurtzman and Elder have in each other is quite evident.
