#madmagazine — Public Fediverse posts

I was so excited as a kid when I saw these books (in the #comics rack at a Rite Aid I think??)

I loved #MadMagazine and Sergio Aragonés’ cartoons in particular (still do) https://www.newsfromme.com/2026/04/21/ask-me-sergios-reign-of-destruction/

You know what would *really* make foldable smartphones a success?

A fold-IN-able smartphone.

They could even hire artists to create all-new fold-ins in the classic MAD style.

Mad Magazine formed a good part of my psyche:

Good thing or bad thing?

I don't know why this hadn't occurred to me until now. The Onion is doing exactly what Mad Magazine used to do.

And that's a good thing.

“Never tell me the odds!”*…

How likely is it that one will be born on a Leap Day? That one will find a pearl in an oyster? That one will solve Wordle on the first guess? That one will die on a tornado? That two people will share the same fingerprint?

The good folks at R74n (@r74n.com) have these probabilities– and so many more: “What Are The Odds?”

(Image above– and tutorial on the odds ratio: source)

* Han Solo (Harrison Ford) in Star Wars: Episode V– The Empire Strikes Back

As we place our bets, we might spare a thought for Harvey Kurtzman; he died on this date in 1993. A cartoonist and editor, he is best know for writing and editing the parodic comic book Mad from 1952 until 1956. Kurtzman scripted every story in the first twenty-three issues. (The New York Times‘ obituary for Kurtzman in 1993, alluding to the role of publisher William Gaines, said Kurtzman had “helped found Mad Magazine.” This prompted an angry response to the newspaper from Art Spiegelman, who complained that awarding Kurtzman partial credit for starting Mad was “like saying Michelangelo helped paint the Sistine Chapel just because some Pope owned the ceiling.”)

Kurtzman, who mentored many younger cartoonists (including Terry Gilliam and Robert Crumb), is considered, with cartoonists like Will Eisner, Jack Kirby, and Carl Barks, one of the defining creators of the Golden Age of American comic books. The prestigious Harvey Awards (for achievement in comic books) are named in his honor.

Is anyone else watching #GildedAge on #HBOMax? There's an actor, Ben Ahlers, who looks EXACTLY like the old MAD magazine character Alfred E. Neuman. The resemblance is uncanny. If there was every a movie made about him they'd have to hire Ben.

#MADMagazine #AlfredENeuman

What, me worry? #alfredenewman #madmagazine

“I kept waiting for someone better than me to come along and make a documentary on #Mad, which I always thought was very worthy of being told since it is such an American icon. I kept reading about Mad artists and writers who were passing away throughout the years, and it finally just got to the point where if it’s going to happen, I’m going to do it. And that was it. I’ll figure it out later.” #MadMagazine #Comics #Culture #Publiishing #Satire #MetroTimes https://www.metrotimes.com/arts/made-in-detroit-mad-documentary-is-no-joke-37819792

No #Cartoon from #StanleyKubrick "The Shining" parody was included in cover of 🇺🇸📰 American edition of #MadMagazine, a copyright thing, I guess.
However it was done so on covers of 🇲🇽📰Mexican and 🇩🇪📰German editions -in those years the later was for sale in #WestGermany or #FRG

Happy 70th #Birthday, Alfred E. Neuman!

Oh dear. In the later paragraphs of this piece on the #SportsIllustrated #AI flap, #WashingtonPost ever-so-gently suggests that why, yes, there might be room in publishing for machine generated copy. As they'd say in #MadMagazine: #Blech.

I know, I'm late, but I only just found out that Al Jaffee died this year. He had a stunning career, and only retired at 99!!! I loved MAD magazine as a kid and his contributions, but it took reading Wikipedia just now to find out what kind of a genius he was. R.I.P.
