Reminisce on some of MAD's fine Obama-related work:
Mad pretty much takes jabs at anything it darn well wants to

I used to carefully pore over each issue of MAD when I was a kid. It really affected me quite a bit. When I wrote letters to my cousin we both wrote with MAD inspired humor. I wish we saved those letters.

What? Going quarterly? They must be worrying!

Mad is finally following in the footsteps of Cracked. Ironic.
To: PJ-Comix
I wish I had saved all those mags.
Hooda'thunk MAD would be such a (albeit humorously) prognosticator of the state of social/political man.
Good comedy is truth and reality we can laugh at.

I still chuckle at the line “It looks like the back stroke”.
It was a simple cartoon of a fat rich lady asking the waiter what the fly was doing in her soup.

My number one reason to buy the mag was the guy that drew this:
The legendary Don Martin
By the way, he had Henry Waxman down pat:

That magazine got me through childhood.
My mom caught me reading it one day and started lecturing me about wasting my money on trash. She grabbed it, opened it, read something and burst out laughing.
I had no further trouble.

Dick DiBartolo is really a funny guy too. He has been in every edition for the past 41 years. He does a podcast called the dailygizwiz.

LIke many of you, I started reading MAD with its very first issue,why oh why didn’t I save them?!?!!? I’ve been out of touch though for many years but now you intrigue me once again with your comments.
Are there artists like Wood, Davis, Martin, etc., etc., still drawing for MAD?

Funny but my Mom actually was the one who bought it for herself and let me have it when she was done. I am in my 50s btw.
