I didn’t have much respect for MAD magazine to start with, always seemed to be generic boomer humour from what I’ve seen.
I don’t like to call it boomer humor. That shit was funny in the 90s. For better or worse, it wasn’t the jokes that changed, it was our reaction to it.
Thinking specifically of things like “Miss Swan”, “The ambiguously gay duo”, and “Pat”. Although I think only one of those was MAD. Still, we (as in the cisfolk, at least) thought it was funny enough at the time for it to keep getting aired.
It’s boomer humor now because our sense of humor matured and adapted…and theirs didn’t.
Man, I haven’t had a MAD subscription in ages. I didn’t realize they were still in print. Lol
I don’t think this is real. If you search up the issue number you’ll see the real version. It’s also from 1974.
Yea I wondered that after I posted my comment but I wondered if it was a joke issue or something. A lot of the issues I had growing up had a front cover and a back one that would work if you flipped it the right way that was an alternative or a joke cover.
Its not real.
