Nei Lima about MAD: "My participation in MAD was in a meeting with Ota at the home of the then cartoonist Márcia Braga, who signed "Z", in his works.

I visited her and took some of my work for her to see and Ota was doing a photo production on the spot, when she saw my drawings and invited me to participate in an edition of MAD (Brazilian MAD Magazine Number 44), satirizing the tv show "Xou of XUXA" , Which came out as "XÔ DA XOXA".”
