MAD Magazine - The End of An Era!

[Boogiedown]

Great story. I use to collect Mad, along with my Monster magazines.

thanks Marv. yes , those monster mags! when we'd go to the market with my dad, my brother and I would b-line it to the magazine rack to look at those.
I enjoyed the developmental years of Mad the best. Once they hit they're stride, their content became a little too formula. Understandable because each writer was submitting his particular shtick, like Dave Berg Looks At..... Then to stay relevant to a more sophisticated youth , they widened their boundaries and had lost their innocence. I won't miss the magazine in its present form , but I know its not aimed at me anyway.

Kind of scary what becomes increasingly acceptable in our society as the norm, the goal lines of decency keep getting pushed out . The gutter level of things middle aged ladies discuss on BRAVO for instance .............
