    I remember reading the very first Mad Magazine. It was a lot smaller than today and was black and white only. I remember two things about that. One was a spoof of "The Wild Ones" entitled "The Wild 1 half" About the only line I remember in that article was when "Johnny" saw a new motorcycle in the dealers window he knocked everyone out of the way, including his girlfriend. He said "I hadda go broke to get this bike, I hadda go broke the window"

    The other was a Sherlock Holmes spoof where one of the panels was he and Watson running through his apartment carrying a canoe with a sign saying "Out to Launch". At the end he was arrested for the crimes and told that anything he said would be held against him so he started blurting out the names of current female movie stars.

    At one time Mad had some very biting satire but for 20 years or more it has become nothing but a bitter anti Conservative hit piece.

    I was going to say that my mind is blurred as to what memories are MAD Magazine and what are from National Lampoon or Cracked.

    Even with a warped mind, some of the National Lampoon stuff was over the top.

    This was well after I was reading Mad, but for some reason this sticks in my mind. I can't even look at anything to do with Jurassic Park without thinking, "Jurass Has Had it Park". I don't think I ever saw anything more than the cover in line at the supermarket.

    That's true, they could never get away with most of that stuff today.
