Mad editor Al Feldstein and publisher Bill Gaines liked what they saw, and Aragonés became a contributor to the magazine in 1963.

" They told me, " Make Mad your home ," said Aragonés, " and I took it literally.

Aragonés also became famous for his wordless " drawn-out dramas " or " marginals " which were inserted into the margins and between panels of the magazine.

Aragonés is a very prolific artist ; Al Jaffee once said, " Sergio has, quite literally, drawn more cartoons on napkins in restaurants than most cartoonists draw in their entire careers.

" In 2002, writer Mark Evanier estimated that Aragonés had written and drawn more than 12, 000 gag cartoons for Mad alone.
