Diesel, A Bookstore in Brentwood is honored to host an evening with famed cartoonist Sergio Aragonés as he discusses and signs MAD's Greatest Artists: Sergio Aragonés: Five Decades of His Finest Works, on Thursday, October 28 at 7pm. Sergio Aragonés is said to be the fastest cartoonist in the world today. He is certainly the most honored, having won every major award in the field, including the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award, and the Will Eisner Hall of Fame Award. Sergio's first contribution to Mad — "A Mad Look at the U.S. Space Effort" — appeared in Mad #76, cover-dated January of 1963. For that same issue, he also contributed the cover gag (the first of many) and his first "Marginal Thinking" cartoons to be printed in the magazine's margins. He has since appeared in every issue of Mad except for one (the post office screwed up). He lives and works in Ojai, California.
