As a kid, Mad magazine was a big part of my life. I especially liked the "fold here" back cover pictures! And who could forget "Spy vs. Spy?" Anybody else enjoy the twisted parodies?

Don Martin and Al Jaffee had some classic stuff. Great 70's nostalgia.

I still have some of the paperback books they put out. As a kid, I always went up to the corner store to get the latest issue every month. Pretty funny stuff for kids to be reading.

One of my best memories of childhood was running out to the mailbox, whenever MAD was due to show up. For some reason, my relatively straight laced dad had a subscription. As a kid I probably didn't understand half the stuff I was reading, but I memorized all of it

My Dad would get it. When he was done reading it, I got the copy. When my brother was old enough, he would see it after me. I loved the tri-fold back cover. I was the only one in the family that enjoyed it, but everyone wanted to see what it was after I did it. I would always study the picture for a while first and try to figure out what the picture was before I folded.

I used to read it a lot but the only thing that I can remember about it is Spy Vs Spy.
There will come a day when I tire of listening to 80's music. That day is not today.

Loved Spy vs Spy.
I remember watching a '60 Minutes' episode about the editor of MAD magazine. Quite the character, didn't take sides (although I think he was a bit left-wing but whatever). When he died, he had a stipulation in his will: the staff at the magazine had to re-enact the 'crowded bedroom scene' from Night at the Opera, the old Marx Brothers movie.

"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

I used to love mad magazine as a kid! Actually right now here in SF at the cartoon museum there's a Mad Magazine exhibit going on.

I really enjoyed (and remember best) the "One Fine Day" series (Don Martin was a genius) and "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions."
