Price and Harvey Kurtzman
Price had four articles in Harvey Kurtzman's Mad in 1955-56 and later contributed to Kurtzman's 1960s magazine Help!. In the introduction to Mad's first paperback collection, The Mad Reader (Ballantine Books, 1954), he described Kurtzman's appearance:
- He is 5 feet 6 inches tall and has a physique that is just barely noticeable and a long expression. In fact, Harvey looks like a beagle who is too polite to mention that someone is standing on his tail. This Beagleishness has certain compensations - he is never ordered off the grass in Central Park and Pretty Girls frequently stop on the street to scratch him behind the ears.
