1. Mad magazine was primarily read by kids between 9 and 14 years old. It was also the most important satirical magazine in American history. Let me explain.

I thought "Mad" was going on-line only. But it is going down for good?
-
From after what I read and saw on Internet news videos, I think it must be the print version only. Can Mad be as exposing as past if has to use ads? Or can they get enough subscribers? I'd buy IF it was 1 year a dollar "dirt cheap" since no paper or ink or presses+Big Population!

Have you read either History Gone Mad, or Madvertising? Both were pocket books that taught me more than any other single tome about historical perspective and the advertising industry, respectively.

I grew up way after Mad Magazine’s hey-day, but I loved it and its competitor Cracked. Reading
@HeerJeet’s eulogy for the mag, it’s easy to see how Mad was a big influence in forming my own weirdo cynical sense of humour.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1148262250723065856 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Check out Frank Jacobs's book "The MAD World of William M. Gaines." A bio of MAD's founding publisher and one of the funniest bios I've ever read.

This was fantastic! Mad was a wonderful gateway to satire and subversive thought when I was a kid. I'm forever in its debt.
