Mad magazine going, going, gone ?


I was a devout MAD fan during my high school days (late 60's and early 70's). I placed an order with the local book shop to keep a copy for me each month. As I came out from school, somehow I lost interests in this magazine. Maybe it was because my interest was already heavily inclined towards soul music that I began to subscribe and read a few music magazines every month.

But it is still so sad to know that the Mad magazine has also fallen to bad times and they are downsizing (a fashionable phrase these days) by cutting their staffs and frequency of publishing from monthly to quarterly. Other formats like books are also ceased.

The picture shown here was a 1959 cover which was intended to be funny.But it turns out to be so irony on their current cutbacks.
