Mad 44

If ever there was a finer magazine…

Alfred E. Neuman and the usual gang of idiots bid farewell to the 1950s with the final issue of 1959. Short of the cover the only seasonal offering are three pages of Custom Made Christmas Cards satirizing the era.

MAD magazine was a staple for the times for over three decades. Still in publication the book has lost some of its teeth even buckling to economic demands and sporting legitimate advertising. But, in its day MAD had no equal. It was the benchmark against which society was judged and no cow was sacred. God rest ye, William Gaines.
