Barry Liebmann[edit]

No reliable sources found for this artist. We don't know his date or place of birth, or anything about his writing style. I can't find any sources to even verify so much that he works for Mad.

Comment. This blog confirms that Liebmann has indeed worked for Mad Magazine, and so does this listing. Problem is, these sites don't say anything else. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He definitely writes for MAD and appears fairly frequently. (http://www.tomrichmond.com/blog/?p=1539) Liebmann was highlighted in a recent annual issue - about two years ago, when they were doing a writer an issue. I think there is major confusion about the spelling of his name, and you may have to search under several alternate spellings. The article DOES need a lot more information, though. I also found a Looney Tunes entry: (http://www.toonzone.net/comics/lt/093.php) Carlo (talk) 00:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Toonzone and another Mad artist's blog aren't exactly reliable sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!)} 01:03, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Update. Here's from Mad's website, the issue where Liebmann was highlighted: http://www.dccomics.com/mad/media/idiot_barry_liebmann.pdf. Carlo (talk) 01:07, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per sources above. He seems notable enough for an own article. So#Why 19:50, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
