Personalization

Want a personal inscription? Give us the details!

PLEASE NOTE: Tom will personalize the inscription based on suggestions like “Make it out to Bill”, or “This is for an aspiring artist, write something encouraging to them”, or “This is for Tina’s birthday”. He WON’T copy out a quote that came from you if it will look like it came from him. Things like “I love you, little brother!” are from YOU , not from Tom. By all means let Tom know the person this is being signed to is a MAD fan, or a huge fan of the subject matter, or is a professional artist themselves. He’ll write something appropriate that are his words.

Own a truly unique piece of comic art! This is the original art of the opening two page splash page from the 2023 award-winning book of MAD style movie parodies CLAPTRAP! This is the first two pages from the spoof of the cult classic 1987 film "The Princess Bride". As this movie was already a spoof of fantasy/fairy tale films, we did this parody as a "musical" i.e. "sing to the tune of..." Hand drawn and inked by Tom, these original pages were then scanned and digitally colored and effects added for the book (pages 110 and 111).

  • Permanent ink on two pieces of heavy bristol board
  • Inked with dip pens and brush
  • Approximately 34" x 22" (two boards taped together)
  • Text copy and header graphics included 
  • Matte, high resolution print of the book pages included
  • Both art and print signed by the artist

These two page spreads are created using two 17" x 22" boards, taped with archival adhesive tape down the center seam to create one large piece of art.

This art was created the old school way, with traditional, permanent, lightfast inks on Strathmore brand heavyweight bristol using dip pen and brushes. This art will not fade with time. The copy from the book page has been pasted in using archival materials and adhesives.

Tom will sign the page and the print, and can personalize it if you wish! 

Theses pages will be wrapped, packaged, and shipped in a sturdy flat box between cardboard backing, and shipped via FedEx ground domestically. International shipping carrier depends destination. Shipping charged via a flat rate for all destinations.
