It will give you a clue to what Mad is all about. Its basically a comic full of spoof cartoons and articles. Well written and drawn and brilliantly clever.

Oh yeah, I definitely got this one. Couldn't wait! I used to love Mad when I was a kid, and read of older ones from the 70s that were my friend's older brother's. He passed them down to us, so I sorta felt like I had a good handle on the political situations of that time because of all the satire in the Mad. Stakey, Mad dates back to the 50s, and its a satirical magazine that used to have biting commentary on everything from politics to consumerism to popular culture, and was often quite puerile. They spoof movies and tv shows in each issue and present the characters with funny names and also show the cliche's in the tv shows or movies. I think it used to be more relevant? I dunno, I haven't read it in a while. Thanks for the scans Scullow!
