Before satire tv and movies, there was MAD Magazine. :grin:

Classic. The "Onion" and then some.

Yeah. I still have some issues of MAD from the early 60’s and later. Mort Drucker drawings was my favorite.

Spy vs. Spy
And those silly sketches in the margins.

The variety of posts is what I enjoy in this forum. Thanks for that link.
I was an avid Mad reader in my youth and was even an "EC member addict" with a membership card to prove it, and I still have several dozen issues from the 50s. I thought for sure I had issue 1 and the composition book issue, but the earliest I find now is issue 10, "The face on the bar room floor". I may still have an Alfred E. Neuman T shirt among my old running gear; guess I should look it up and wear it for riding since my running days are well behind me.

I have always thought Giulio Cesare Carcano kinda looked like Alfred E Newman....

"What? Me Worry?!?" :laugh: :grin: :wink:
Back in the day the Dominican nuns at the Catholic schools I attended BANNED Mad magazines in any of their classrooms!! :shocked: :rolleyes: :huh:

Ha that’s funny I just drew this for a little project - my ode to the classic - interestingly Alfred E. Newman as an archetype character has been around for a long time. MAD picked him up for the modern era. I’ll have to dig around and find the history for everyone.

Never cared for "comic books". Then I discovered Mad.

Me, too.
And after Mad, National Lampoon.
