  • batty
  • bizarre
  • crazy
  • deranged
  • idiotic
  • irrational
  • nuts
  • preposterous, etc. etc.
There may be a surfeit of synonyms for mad in any decent thesaurus, but I doubt they will be anywhere near enough to describe the contents of MAD, the magazine many of us old fogies first discovered as teenagers.

Today, having recently stumbled upon the MAD website, I am back to chortling over the antics of Don Martin's seriously unhinged characters...

...chuckling over the ding-dong battles of the screwy (and mute) spies created by Cuban refugee Antonio Prohías in 1960 and currently being drawn by Peter Kuper...


...cackling at the frenzied stunts of Sergio Aragonés's "Shadows"...

Oh, there's more, so much more to enjoy on Classic MAD!
