Where will today's youth learn their subversion now?

MAD has been deteriorating since the 1970s, and has been doomed since they started taking ads.

I have an old MAD, dunno how I ended up with it, from the 1960s. I glance through it every so often, and I laugh at something every single time.

It's a mess, torn cover, faded, creased, and all that, so not saleable. But something that can make me laugh every time might as well be gold plated.

That's what the InterWebs are for!

I always read MAD as a pre-teen and teen - it became a tradition to get a MAD in my Christmas stocking, a tradition that still lives on to this day (My S-I-L is the usual MAD purchaser). I agree that the magazine is going downhill - this years was especially disappointing - lots of ads an much of the 'humor' was one-sided political rants.

I wasn't even aware that they were still publishing it.

Me either

Emma met Sergio Aragonés at a Game Show Congress trip to "What's My Line." She was so impressed with the picture that he drew for her that she asked me to buy her a subscription to the magazine.

On the bright side, they said they were hearing that only one out of three issues was funny, so they'll only publish those ones....
