Really slowing down

Still by far the best high and low brow satire known to man. Only problem is the lack of regularity. Last year when the publication went to quarterly, my stomach dropped. Not sure if it is a lack of regular writers or if reality TV has essentially dumbed down america to the point that it takes twice the writers to come up with the same stuff, who knows. I am just hoping that the print comes back around to monthly. I'd hate to see this go the way of comics; way overpriced or to an annual. Gotta get more out there!

I LOVE Mad Mag. Have been reading it since I was a baby nipper. As an artist, I learned how to do portraits from copying Mort Druckers' insanely brilliant caricatures. I now hear Mad is going to be published quarterly. Arrrgh!!!! I don't know if I can survive without a monthly dose of the stuff I need. I guess we all have to make sacrifices during these trying times.

There is absolutely no magazine out there that offers the hilarious satires and parodies on today's movies, books, television, and politics quite like Mad has for 50 years. This magazine's humor is just on the cusp of ridiculousness, but is so valid and pertinent that you just have to laugh at the over-the-top content; think "Scary Movie" in a magazine form.

Outrageously fun

Wow, I've been reading this classic magazine ever since I was a kid. Mad is one of very few magazines that has upheld its original intent over the course of several decades. I suppose it has evolved in some ways, but Mad continues to deliver that great biting satire and parody that has defined it as a unique source of entertainment. When Mad arrives in my mailbox, I can't wait to curl up in a comfy chair and read it cover to cover, laughing my way through each article and all of the outrageous graphics. This magazine is like Jon Stewart or Colbert in a more extreme, visual form. I feel like I am with people who understand my cynical and complex views of the world when I am reading Mad. To me, nothing is better than taking what politicians, campaigns and the media set out to do (deceive) and turning them all on their heads! Not sure what I would do without releasing my frustrations through this fantastic read.

A classic! I remember reading MAD when I was a little kid and it has only gotten better with age. The parodies of recent events and famous people keep me in stitches, and the artwork is dead on. And the Spy vs. Spy series provides many moments of enjoyment and laughter.
