MAD was the perfect expression of a particular cultural moment. But it could never escape that moment.
I am profoundly sad to hear that after 67 years, MAD Magazine is ceasing publication. I can’t begin to describe the impact it had on me as a young kid – it’s pretty much the reason I turned out weird. Goodbye to one of the all-time greatest American institutions. #ThanksMADpic.twitter.com/01Ya4htdSR

I need to clarify the MAD rumors: MAD isn't shutting down but is only leaving the newsstand and will be sold to the direct market. The best thing to do is buy MAD and support it as much as possible, it's not going away!

This isn't exactly true. Original content will end with issue #10 at which point they will reprint old material until subscriptions are expired.
