Owner Comments
The last one completed in the series of Scooby Doo character reading Mad Magazine through an infinity cover. My idea many years ago was to have Scooby Doo reading a Mad Magazine. Dan Partouche had the idea of making it an infinity cover and I loved it so much that I got Joe Staton over the spand of many years to do each of the gang to do on.
This was the last in the series and the one I thought wouldn't happen once COVID hit. The opportunity arrived to add Frank Welker right around the time the world started shutting down but we didn't know that would happen at the time. Frank Welker signed with the character name Fred on 3/20/20. I originally planned on adding Freddie Prince Jr. to it but not after what Joe Staton did in 2021.
He did the Fred drawing at Baltimore 2021 but he incorporated Frank Welker's signature into the infinity sketch so it would have thrown it off!
Signed & Sketched By Joe Staton on 10/23/21 Fred Reading Mad Magazine Infinity Cover through Dan Partouche at Baltimore 2021. Dan added Frank Welker & "Fred" at Galaxy Con 3/20/20. "Really 2/20/20 but CGC messed up date."
Signed & "Fred" By Frank Welker on 3/20/20, Signed & Sketch by Joe Staton on 10/23/21.
Grader Notes: Unavailable (This was a 9.8 both times but did have to press it once Joe sketched as it was the first time he was ever a little rough on the cover then again, the MAD magazines are hard to get in a 9.8. Fun fact the first and last in this series both got a 9.8 so start and end strong.)
