INDIANA JONES AND THE UPDATES OF MAY

LITTLE ANNIE FANNY
Playboy, circa 1984
w: Harvey Kurtzman
a: Will Elder
Little Annie Fanny sort of did a takeoff of the whole Indiana Jones franchise, specifically Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which had been released that summer. Caricatures are drawn of Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg. The Nazis and snakes are more from Raiders of the Lost Ark, though.
TRAILERS OF THE LOST PARK

And speaking of Indiana Jones, here's a parody I forgot to include a few weeks ago.
The government agents are all Mr. Dithers from Blondie.
For the next twenty years? It's been 42 years and they're still making sequels now.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND
MAD #18, December 1954
w: Harvey Kurtzman
a: Jack Davis

Though this is more based on the book, there were two movie versions at this point, a live-action version from 1933 and an animated one from 1951 which may be better known. This and the cover from a few issues earlier are taken from the John Tenniel illustrations for the book.
