  Don Martin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don Martin (May 18, 1931 – January 6, 2000) was a popular American cartoon artist whose best-known work appeared in MAD magazine from 1956 to 1988.
Martin's immediately recognizable drawing style (which featured bulbous noses, and the famous "hinged foot") was loose, rounded, and filled with broad slapstick.
Martin died of cancer in Miami, Florida, in 2000.

 Don't go spending refund just yet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
And because no Liberal would dare waste the opportunity to squander almost all the surplus money at their disposal, they elevated what was supposed to be a sleepy statement of economic projections and prosperity enhancements into a hard by-the-numbers tax cut and something-for-everybody spending blueprint.
It would be tempting to accuse Paul Martin of playing political games in a shameless ripoff of his 2000 pre-election strategy, when as finance minister he delivered a similarly rosy fiscal update just days before Jean Chretien called an election to claim his third straight majority as a scandal-plagued government.
So it must be just a happy coincidence that Martin found all this money to fund all these tax reduction and handout measures on the eve of an election when it would cause his rivals so much campaign grief.

This spending spree, which is just the latest pre-election writ of passage proven to work during a dozen years of Liberal domination, has turned a fiscal update into a federal budget and then rendered all budget documents mere guidelines subject to massive alternation on the whimsical desire of the PMO.
The Paul Martin mystique is rooted in being the competent finance minister who vowed to wade through hell or high water to eliminate the deficit.
Now he risks the reputation of becoming a raging spendaholic, which is all the more ironic given it was this very same Martin who attacked Conservative leader Stephen Harper in the last campaign for having a "fl hole" in his election spending calculations.
