Thank you

I remember getting Mad Magazine when I was a kid, loved the Spy-vs Spy stories, there was always some edgy comedy.

Friend sent me this, he got it as a birthday present.. June 1961. You can be sure they would be getting all kinds of crap on UnSocial Media....

Still, funny stuff.



Check out the School Lesson they printed inside.



and the answers

I had a subscription for 2 years. One of the magazines was my first exposure to The Godfather with its parody. I came across this unaired clip a couple of years ago Big Grin

Oh yeah!

I happened across a current copy. I think I made it about 5 pages before tossing it in the trash.

There is a documentary due out soon, I believe on Netflix, about Mad Magazine. The guy doing it has been working on it for a handful years, has several interviews with old writers and what not. Some of them have since passed away from when he recorded them. Rumor is it's supposed to be very well done.

I was thinking of that article just within the past couple of weeks for some reason (no idea why Wink ) and ... smiled.

It is so outrageous that if it were published today, the reaction would make the Charlie Hebdo incident seem like a stiffly-worded note.

Every time I see Mayor Pete on the news I get nostalgic for Mad Magazine!

Also every time I hear about Brennan vs. Comey!

It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide IIRC.

I enjoyed reading Mad's "interpretation" of a movie FIRST, then going to the movie. Sometimes, other people in the theater must have wondered, "Why is that kid laughing at this scene?"



I found what you said riveting.

I was a huge fan, never missed an issue. I still am.

My favorite cover has to be the one where they tell you to buy the magazine or they shoot the dog. Big Grin

I did the same thing! I often think that MAD is why I have such a twisted sense of humor.

Remember Lawrence of Arabia, The Musical? Peter O'Toole dancing in his new white outfit, singing "I feel pretty" from "West Side Story."

Charles Addams cartoons in the New Yorker also contributed to mine.
