I'm looking for a particular Mad Magazine from I'm pretty sure the 1960s.
They did movie parodies, and the art was Mort Drucker.
This issue in particular I'm looking for had a characterization drawing of Steve McQueen from the Sand Pebble, Mad's version, The Sam Pebble. McQueen teaching a coolie English. There was a close up drawing of McQueen saying 'clog' and the coolie saying 'crog' then 'c-l-o-g' and 'c-r-o-g'. It was pretty funny.
I bought the issue but that is not in it. So, still looking.
Just wondered if anyone hear remembers this? What issue?
I remember that. Was it 1968 or ‘69? Definitely late 60s.
There is this thing called Google....What you do is go to Google.com and type in all words relevant to your search and check out images. I will find it for you in less than a minute.......
Here you go........
I think I have some in my basement somewhere but I am not going to go search right now. I will look and if I find something I will let this comment be my bookmark.
Even better!
I loved those movie send-ups. Drucker was a genius. Also Wallace Wood and Jack Davis. American treasures, every one of them.
The Sam Pebbles; March, 1968.

There was a boxed set of 6 CDs put out (in the 1990s?) that collected every issue up to that point. I’m not sure if it remained on the market though because there was some controversy that (unlike the reprint collections in books, magazines, and paperbacks) the artists/writers weren’t being paid.
I have it but I don’t like reading magazines as pdfs (I have a number of collected publications this way). The pages are never legible at full view and I find the interface (at least with some of these magazines) to be clunky to slide the page around to read everything.
Some magazines are keyword indexed in these pdfs.
There are some obsessive Mad collectors out there and there are probably dedicated websites to indexes regarding artists/writers/subjects/titles.m not sure if it remained on the market though because there was some controversy that (unlike the reprint collections in books, magazines, and paperbacks) the artists/writers weren
I’m still looking for a clean link to Botch Casually and the Somedunce Kid that won’t cause my virus alarms to go off.
One of my cousins has every issue of Mad Magazine. They are in plastic and in excellent condition. He’s thinking of looking for a buyer.
I don’t remember the MAD parody, but it reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of Get Smart. The villain was Asian, and called himself “The Claw.” Except, of course, he pronounced it “The Craw.” So his conversation with Maxwell Smart went like “I am the Craw.” “Oh, you’re the Craw?” “No, not the Craw, the Craw!” Cracked me up every time.
