MAD Magazine will cease publication later this year, according to reports. Blogger Jedidiah Leland reportedly discovered the news after a MAD editor confessed to the magazine's doom in a Facebook group, and shortly thereafter, cartoonist Ruben Bolling seemed to confirm the report on Twitter. Of course, Bolling is not a MAD cartoonist (although he did have work published in it in 2005), so he may have been simply responding to the growing volume of responses to the Leland report.

Per the report, "I just heard from a friend of mine who is in a Facebook group with MAD writer Stan Stinberg that, after the next two issues, MAD will no longer be publishing original material. Instead, it’ll publish reprinted material until it’s subscription responsibilities are fulfilled and then the magazine will cease publication."

Ok, no biggie, but as a young teenager I and my compadres read this mag avidly. It wasn't until years later I recognized its Liberal orientation.

Goodbye, Alfred E Neumann (whose original name was Melvin F. Coznowski ) (Really. I know. I was there).

(Algernonpj, are you shaking your head and thinking, "Boys are so weird?")

Boys are just different from girls [oops did I just write that]


I found a trip down memory lane for fans of MAD:

Courtesy of Trump, in my mind Alfred E Neumann is now forever associated with Buttgiggig


On another note I wonder if MAD's demise is the result of the left move from using humor as a subtle form of brain washing to becoming humorless screaming harridans

How nice of you to say that. For my part, I am still unsure of whether or not girls have cooties.
