wolverton-284

Before the weekend begins and this exhibit ends get a jump start with apocalyptic scenes of disembowelment and ill-fated plagues over at the Barbara Gladstone Gallery in Chelsea. Basil Wolverton, the evil-genuis cartoonist most famously known for Mad magazine’s signature sick and twisted humor spawned a new generation of Looney Tunes gone mental. This apparent bible-thumpin’ believer had deep dark secrets to infect in his caricatures of mutilated and deranged possible non-believers. His influence on pre-pubescent boys to look at girls as cootie ridden freaks can close the case on the time Jimmy pushed you into the sandbox.
