Back in the day (of dinosaurs and UHF channels) I was a semi-regular reader of MAD. Grocery store newsstand or the dentist office (along with the required Highlights that all child friendly medical practices MUST subscribe to, my dentist also had issues of MAD, Cracked, Crazy, and hardbacks copies of creepy goody two-shoes Uncle Arthur bedtime and bible stories).

Overtime, I moved on to other things. Once in a great while, I'd flip thru an issue. Not crazy about the move to color, but other than that, MAD is about the same as it always was.

Latest flip thru; "The 50 Worst Things About America". Pretty funny; wish I could post the whole list, but since this is a current issue, only a partial is making the rounds online (#7 = PRICELESS).

Last time I looked at Mad magazine they had a really sharp parody of Pulp Fiction. I was impressed.

Cool!

My dad had a Best Of from his childhood that I read to death when I was a kid. There was a North By Northwest parody.
