What a wonderful collaboration between two legendary artists Stanley Mouse and the late great Alton Kelley. "The central image (on this poster) is an early drawing of the character who eventually was developed into Alfred E. Newman the logo of Mad Magazine...If there was any one element of the '50s that foreshadowed the subversive counterculture of the '60s it was Mad Magazine. All the Psychedelic poster artists had read it and been influenced by it and it is appropriate that Alfred E. Newman be given his due homage..." Eric King states in The Collector's Guide to Psychedelic Rock Concert Posters Postcards and Handbills 1965-1973: Volume 1. In September 2017 a slightly higher graded 9.8 example of this original Family Dog poster realized $581 in our auction.
