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
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.
