TheSurgeon Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) I had never heard of "Get Lost." They really nailed the Mad themes. Harvey Kurtzman started Humbug sometime after Feldstein took over editing Mad. For some reason, I find the 1950's Mad's more interesting and funny than Humbug. I did not like Humbug so much. I just picked up the new issue of Mad from Barnes and Noble yesterday- planned on giving it to my daughter in 6th grade. However, I threw it away after reading it. I thought it was inappropriate and mostly not at all funny. Very disappointed. Not nearly as clever as the early Mads (the first magazine, issue 23 I believe, is genius) or even the ones I remember as a kid in the 70's.

The Mad of the last decade or so is completely puerile compared to its 60s / 70s heyday. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I thought it was inappropriate Inappropriate for all ages is a good way to sum up the current state of Mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarg Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I didn't know MAD was still being published. CRACKED survives at least on the web, with a couple of clever writers carrying on the spirit of Kurtzman. I don't know if they have an actual magazine though. Anybody got scans to the early MAD magazine (not comic) imitators? Lunatickle was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble Nostalgia aka Nikelspot Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Would these be considered MAD ko’s?

OtherEric Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Not so much a knock-off as a follow-up: The book Kurtzman did when he left MAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
