What, Me Worry? is a phrase that originated from a film from 1898 with John Phillip Holland. In a photograph Holland emerged from a hatch in his submarine with the captions '' What, me worry? Fast forward to 1956 when artist Norman Mingo saw an ad for a 'special project for a new magazine'. He went inside and asked which one it is and someone said Mad and he said goodbye. But Harvey Kurtzman recognized his work and convinced him to work for him. He showed Mingo an ad with pre Mad Neuman with the words '' me, worry?" he wanted it to be more funny but not an idiot. Norman created the dumb-witted gap tooth person we know today as Alfred. E Neuman. Fun fact: His name was going to be Melvin. Today, thousands of people know this famous phrase and sometimes What, me worry? is added with I Read MAD.
