 @annaloog. Neat! Always been a fan of Don Martin's work. I could see how he would have been a fan of Gilbert's humour.

 23skidoo - It's my understanding that Don Martin was a member of the NY Gilbert & Sullivan appreciation society, so its appearance in MAD was likely his idea.

 @annaloog It's hard to believe that MAD used to do things like this. But it was quite literary at times! Gilbert probably would have approved as Fun and its contemporary, Punch, were the MAD Magazines of their day!

 Gilbert's poem, "Etiquette" (concerning two shipwreck survivors cast up on a desert island), was reprinted in MAD Magazine several decades ago, with illustrations by Don Martin. As I recall (I no longer have the copy), the first stanza goes ...
The Ballyshannon! foundered off the coast of Cariboo,
And down in fathoms many went the Captain and the crew.
Down went the owners, greedy men, whom hope of gain allured —
Ah! dry the starting tear, for they were heavily insured.
