Elvis Shrugged used someof the material meant for Barf when publisher Todd Loren was murdered. I know Dennis Worden and don't know exactly why he was writing for them. He's better than that and opposite them politically. Maybe he felt an obligation when the publisher picked up his hilarious Stickboy after his falling out with previous publisher Fantagraphics.

This parody conflates the crew distracted by seeing the woman washing her car and Luke using the task of fetching the warden's pet from the car as his first escape attempt.

Like I mentioned before, the Australian version of MAD often does versions of movies not parodied here, yet they did one of Crocodile Dundee, which had already been parodied in the American version. Perhaps the country felt it was their domain, since Paul Hogan was already a well known personality there before making a big splash in the US and launching our brief period of Austro-mania in the late eighties. Apologies for the political incorrectness that doesn't translate as well over the borders.

Regarding Crocodile Dundee, America Mad was particularly late in getting around to parodying it, so it's possible that Australian Mad didn't expect that they'd do it at all.
ReplyDeleteAustralian Mad actually did something on this movie before this parody. In Sper Special #59, they ran an article called "Croc of Ol' Dundee", by Gerald Clark. I haven't seen it, but it sounds like a collection of gags rather than a story.
