Inspired by the 2016 Clickers Club Private Eye Challenge, MAD magazine's 'Spy vs Spy' comic from the 1960's.
Original music by Michael Duran inspired by the 'Spy vs Spy' comic from MAD magazine.
Spy vs. Spy is a wordless comic strip published in Mad magazine. It features two agents involved in espionage activities who are completely identical except for the fact that one is dressed all in white and the other all in black.
The pair are constantly at war with each other, using a variety of booby-traps to inflict harm on the other. The spies usually alternate between victory and defeat with each new strip.
A metaphor for the Cold War, the strip was created by Cuban expatriate cartoonist Antonio Prohías, a prolific cartoonist known for political satire.
He fled to the United States on May 1, 1960, three days before Fidel Castro's government nationalized the last of the Cuban free press.
Prohías sought work in his profession and travelled to the offices of Mad magazine in New York City on July 12, 1960. After a successful showing of his work and a prototype cartoon for Spy vs. Spy, Prohías was hired.
