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.

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.

This is a classic from 1967, (To the tune of Hello Dolly)

Hello, Deli
Well hello, Deli
Won't you please send up some nice corned beef on rye?
A box of Ritz, deli
And some Schlitz, deli
Some chopped liver and a sliver of your...apple pie!
Turkey legs, deli
hard-boiled eggs, deli
with tomatoes and potato's you french fry...ooohhh,
please don't be late, deli
‘cause I can't wait, deli
Deli without BREAKFAST I will die!
