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.
Its not real.
originally published
MAD #166, Apr 1974
lol yeah, otherwise MAD was WAAAAY ahead of its time 😂
EDIT: huh, does lemmy not support nested quotes or am I just dumb
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.
I’ve got no idea anymore.
What is this from? Did you print this? Why would you leave the og price and date tho? And no context? C’mon now this is an interesting story. But also, not something actually made by MAD Magazine… unless you work there? For those who don’t know what this is referencing:

And as far as I can tell OPs image is not an actual MAD cover.
MAID magazine
LLMs don’t make pictures
AI is more like 1 middle finger + a partial middle finger, cuz its that sloppy
