Mad Magazine

[shakenbake]

I grew up reading Mad and found this site where all the issues are there to read. A walk down memory lane. Mad was unique because it had no paid advertising and only existed on sales and paid subscriptions. The humour/satire was very good and the art work was iconic.

Oh, and Mad's parody of the flick The Wild One starring Marlon Branflakes is priceless:

Al Jaffee, longtime 'Mad Magazine' cartoonist, dies at 102

Mad Magazine's ageless wise guy delighted millions of readers with the sneaky fun of the Fold-In and the snark of "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions." Al Jaffee had retired at age 99.

I'm not sure if it was Mad Magazine, or some other magazine but one of those types of Magazines had all this funny and cool shit you could order from like the last page when I was a kid. Maybe it was Thrasher...I don't recall but I used to love checking that stuff out. It was like funny T-shirts, gags, all kinds of stuff.

Not MAD Magazine. MAD didn't have advertising*, (other than their own products, like pictures of Alfred E Neuman), before 2001.

*After 1957.

Thanks man. This is what the internet is all about.
A departed uncle of mine subscribed to MAD magazine when he was in his 40s, I'm guessing. His policy was to read them, and then let the rest of his family read them, if they wanted to.
