Terrible news...MAD was one of the best 'adult' magazines of its day. Growing up in the mid 60's I never missed an issue...I was a young reader (4 y/o) and have every issue from ~1966 to 2002. What I find truly amazing is the type of humor that MAD portrayed. I simply cannot see kids today "getting" it. Lot's of then-current political humor which, as a child I actually got! Of course it made me grow up apolitical, lol.
MAD will truly be missed.
