Don Martin was an American cartoonist whose work appeared in MAD magazine from 1956 to 1988, where he was promoted as 'MAD's Maddest Artist.' His humor was defined by rubber-limbed characters, hinged flapping feet, and inventive onomatopoeic sound effects that became his trademark. He created the bumbling superhero Captain Klutz and illustrated many best-selling paperback collections. After leaving MAD, he contributed to the rival humor magazine Cracked.
