Unbearable likenesses: Caricatures by Hermann Mejia

Hermann Mejia - Spider-Man 3 - Tobey as Spidey

The caricature illustrations of Hermann Mejia always make me laugh. His drawings are monstrous and remarkably accurate! These images are from Mad Magazine #481, dated September 2007.

Hermann Mejia - Spider-Man 3 - Harry Osbourne and Peter Parker talk it out

This one of Tobey made me laugh out loud in Border’s. That’s one of the silliest faces he’s making, yet I can see him looking just like that in the movie.

Hermann Mejia - Spider-Man 3 - Peter gets dark

Tobey gets creepier as the comic (and Spider-Man movie series) goes on. If Gollum had hair, I believe he would part it in this fashion.

Hermann Mejia - Spider-Man 3 - Kirsten Dunst

Yes! This is exactly what I was thinking about Dunst while watching Spider-Man 3! Either her eyes are shrinking or her cheekbones are taking over!

Doesn’t it look like a fun job to ruthlessly make fun of the filthy rich through cartooning?

Here are a couple more places to see Mejia’s art:

Yeah, that would be kick ass to make money whilst making fun of the rich and famous. Why? Are you hiring?

Buy the mag! The Spidey 3 alone is worth the $4 bucks.

Trev - I’m not hiring, but if you’re interested in some pro-bono …

maybe i should have mentioned that i’m from germany and it has been 3 years since any movie parodies in the german mad magazine. there’s no chance to get it and buy it at ebay would
be difficult because i’m underage and can’t sign up to paypal

Ah, sorry about that Wesker. I only scanned these small images. So, the German Mad has the movie parodies removed? Or is the entire magazine different?

 
Comment by wesker

there’s no other way? too bad…and the german mad has still movie parodies but they appear very infrequently or are completely made by some german artists and aren’t very funny

que dahora essas caricaturas

Comment by Eric

Hmm, I tried Google Translate, but no one seems to know what “dahora” means. Sorry I can’t respond, but I’d like to. Montevideo has a special place in my heart. (Visited there in high school.)
