MAD Magazine was fantastic. I started reading it around 11, and it opened my eyes to satirical humor and much, much more. It always felt like I was getting away with something— that it was just a slight bit subversive, and that my parents wouldn’t understand. Some great writers and artists there. The “Fold-Ins”. Spy vs. Spy. Al Jaffe strips. All wonderful and clean stuff for a young man to enjoy and ponder before grabbing his sling shot and/or fishing rod and/or BB gun, and heading out on his Sting-Ray for a day of completely unsupervised summer fun. (We of a certain age were truly blessed, weren’t we?)
The “Fold-Ins”,,,
Yup,
All that Goofy stuff!
More than we ever knew.
We were, yes we were.
