    It’s cool, though, that all of the back issues… all of them… are available on playable media. Just last week I re-read the classic parody of the movie “Gone With the Wind” as a “Reader’s Digest Condensed Book.” They reduced the entire Civil War to one word.

    Looks like war Miss Scarlett, said the Tarleton twins.

    Fiddle-dee-dee, said Scarlett O’Hara.

    BOOM!

    What a bloody war that was, said Rhett Butler.

    To be honest it’s been dying a slow death for years.

    I miss MAD Magazine. It was one of my favorites.

    Spy vs. Spy.

    The inside of the back cover was always fun to figure out. You trad one thing, the folded it according to the dotted lines and it read something completely different. The one that always stuck with me was the one of the soldiers, and when you folded it over, the soldiers all had hypodermic needles, instead of guns, over their shoulders. The caption was “When Johnny Come Marching Home.” Simple, but powerful.

    Mad Magazine’s demise reminds me of the beloved dog of our youth who we later ignored. We grieved over its death, weeping bitter tears. But it died of starvation and neglect.

    Al Jaffee and Sergio Aragonés are (likely) going to out-live Mad.

    I have a theory that MAD magazine was responsible for the counter-culture movement of the sixties.

    Lio has always exemplified one of my favorite Mad techniques, few or none at all, word balloons. You’re given credit for being smart enough to figure out the gag without them.

    As a kid, I always looked forward to visiting my cousin. My mother forbade me from reading Mad. His mother didn’t.

    Just noticed the hole in dad’s sock switches from his left foot to his right foot between panels 2 and 3.

    Favorite Mad Magazine memory, The Way We Were parody. Scene ballroom Robert Redford is dancing with Barbra Streisand and observers are commenting, “What do they remind me of? Beauty nd the Beast? Don’t be silly, he not that attractive.”

    Does anyone remember “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions”?

    For some strange reason, I remember MAD magazine’s illustration of the poem “Wreck of the Hesperus!” Maybe because my father used to recite it so it rang a bell when I saw it in MAD. You can find MAD’s version of it online.
