DIE-NASTY
DYNASTY
1981-1989 ABC
MAD #256, July 1985
w: Lou Silverstone
a: Mort Drucker
ABC's answer to Dallas, about an oil family in Denver. The main characters were Alexis Colby (Joan Collins), Blake Carrington (John Forsythe), Krystle (Linda Evans), Steve (Jack Coleman), Claudia (Pamela Bellwood), Adam (Gordon Thomson), Fallon (Pamela Sue Martin), and Dominique (Diahann Carroll).
Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger are friends of the family.
-Anybody know if Puke Buller is supposed to be anyone?
-Renee Richards was a tennis player famous for changing genders.
The news reporter here is Barbara Walters.
The show rated a cover for their German edition.
From The MAD TV Coroner's Report in #294, April 1990, written by Frank Jacobs.
UPDATE:
Cover to the Mexican edition.
And the Australian one. The American edition also had Beverly Hills Cop even though neither were on the cover for that issue in the U.S. except at the top next to the logo.
Re: Puke Buller: looking it up, I see that's meant to be a character named Luke Fuller, played by Billy Campbell, who the drawing doesn't resemble.
Also, it seems like the judge was intended to be a character named Mark Jennings, played by Damon Dayoub. But Drucker must not have had any photos of the actor, because this looks nothing like him.
