Contact Tad at debtad@ islandnet.com Sam Viviano was born sometime in the last century to an anonymous couple in Detroit. Moving to New York City, he was saved from a life of crime by the editors of Mad magazine, who assigned him his first cover—#223—in 1980. He quickly became one of the Usual Gang of Idiots, producing movie and television satires, phony ads and, of course, more covers. To stem his seemingly endless output of bad illustration, Sam was asked to become the Art Director of Mad in 1999, a position he still sleeps through today. Sam lives in New York with his wife and daughter, who (like his parents) would prefer to remain anonymous. Viviano can be reached (when awake) at: sam.viviano@madmagazine.com.
