Mad Magazine or Cracked Magazine?

[samurainoir]

I was a HUGE Mad magazine fan back in the day. I loved the Mad musicals. You remember those - a movie or TV show parody that was a musical, with the little footnotes for what song or tune it was set to. Those were a blast.

This was my first issue of Mad ever.


The musical versions were brilliant.

Anyone remember the Lord of the Rings parody? The Ring and I?

Who was your favourite Mad/Cracked/Crazy artist and/or feature?

Sergio Aragones always was enjoyable in Mad, but I think I always liked Groo and his stuff in Plop better.

Mort Drucker more or less define the look of the Mad parodies in the seventies.

What was the name of the Spy Versus Spy guy?

[The Toyroom]

Mad, without question. I was a huge fan of Mad Magazine growing up. Loved it. Cracked was always a pale imitation to me. I probably bought a couple over the years but that's it. I still have a huge collection of Mad Magazines packed away.

Loved Don Martin, Dave Berg, the movie parodies were great. When I got a little older I got into National Lampoon a natural extension I supppose.
