Posted on the celeb death thread it appears but deserves some Lulz recognition. I'm of the age where Mad magazine was still iconic, effectively satirical, occasionally subversive and sometimes even humorous.

And I definitely loved the Fold-In.

Grew up reading mad magazine in the 80s and 90s and it definitely had as much influence as anything on my sense of humor. 

Mom got me a year’s subscription for a birthday.  They ended up sending them to me for like 5 years.

i still have a bunch stowed away in the attic.

I don't trust anyone who is old enough to like Mad Magazine but doesn't. 

I remember reading a letter to the editor in MAD, where they were complaining about something and ended it with "dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb."

The response was "Thank you for your letter, but why did you end it with the theme from Dragnet?" 

For some reason I thought that was hilarious.

RIP. Al’s in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest career as a comic artist (77 years).

Mad and then National Lampoon helped make me the dumb/smart ass I am today! Cracked was a very distant 3rd.

Loved Mad because every artist had their own style, you knew who it was immediately - Jack Davis, Al Jaffe, Dave Berg, Sergio Aragones, Don Martin.

I was wracking my brain to remember what the other magazine was.

Remember this: The man who thinks for himself smokes Vicejoy cigarettes because everyone else does.

The little Sergio drawings in the margins were always great little doodles you stumbled across on second and third read throughs. 

I started reading Mad in 1954, then through high school. Slacked off after that until my kids bought one now & then during the 1980s.

What's that anyway?

 

It was a red letter day at camp when you got a care package that included a MAD Magazine.

My first year at summer camp, I was sick for most of it, and ended up basically living inside some Spy vs Spy collections the nurse's station had.
