Dick DeBartolo (born October 19, 1940)[3] is an American writer, most famous for writing for Mad. He is occasionally referred to as "Mad's Maddest Writer",[4] this being a twist on Don Martin's former status as "Mad's Maddest Artist". DeBartolo served as the magazine's "Creative Consultant" from 1984 to 2009. He is also known for his work on Match Game in the 1960s and 1970s.
