THE PRODUCER AND I
MAD #60, January 1961
w: Nick Meglin
a: Mort Drucker
Loosely follows the plot of The King and I, a musical about a woman who becomes tutor to the wives and children of the King of Siam, mostly parodying the song lyrics. A lot of people I know didn't read song parodies in MAD because they never heard the songs. They probably still haven't (I know I haven't some of the time), so I provided them. King Mongkut is portrayed by Yul Brynner, but here he's caricatured as Phil Silvers but made bald like Brynner's character. Actors on the lot in the last panel are Frank Sinatra, Errol Flynn, and George Raft.
Sooky is Burt Lancaster.
