Hi everyone.
Apologies for bothering you with this, but I'm not
a very skilled researcher, and haven''t managed
to track this down on the Internet, Web, or
in the newsgroup archive.
Guiseppe Baggi, who was a wiz at all kinds of
sculpture, did some money folds for Mad magazine.
Also some wire sculptures, and some sculptures
out of household tools and implements. They were
used as illustrations for subscription ads between
1963 and 1968, I think.
At first I thought the money folds were play money,
but I just got a chance to look at some of the ads,
and he seems to be using real, foreign, i.e.
non-USA, paper money.
Baggi also did at least two origami features for Mad
magazine. I think one was titled "Orgygami", but I
haven't been able to find my copy, so I don't even
know what issue it was in. The other was titled
"Mad Origami Zoo of Cliche Animals".
Here's what I can find of Baggi's stuff, right now.

I could swear I've seen a cat and a swan, too. I know I have more somewhere, but it's been some time since I've seen that stuff.
Anyone have a better list?
