Hold it sideways and have some fun.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
You have to hold this book sideways to read it so there you already look a bit Mad to begin with.In the 1950s America was a very conservative place so when Mad hit the newsstands of anytown USA it was like the cultural equivelant of an A-bomb going off. Mad parodied anything that moved and was freshest and most vital in the beginning of its run.The parodies remain a fresh today as they did then with hundreds of small sight gags that will take more than one rereading to find.
Classic humor from The Usual Gang Of Idiots

Funny stuff from the early days of Mad. The crisp b & w art in this 50th anniversary edition looks great. Handy paperback size. Be sure to check out the 1st volume of this series, "The Mad Reader".
