Sergio Aragonés: A California Gold Centennial First Day Cover

Mad magazine's Marginal Thinking Department cartoonist Sergio Aragonés has renewed my faith in the art of the signed first day cover. A cacheted cover of the California Gold Centennial commemorative issue of 1948—you'd think they could have waited a year—was signed and drawn upon by him in 1991, presumably at a convention. He has drawn the magazine's ageless mascot Alfred E. Neuman in a manner fitting to both the stamp and the character in the "What Me Worry?" shirt.
