    MAD magazine to cease publication after 67 years

    https://www.cjnews.com/perspectives/...-what-me-worry

    Last month, Mad magazine announced it would be ceasing publication, after 67 continuous years. Along the way, there were Mad paperbacks, Mad records, the Mad TV show, even a Mad Broadway show. But none of these ancillary projects had the impact of the original magazine.

    They probably don't want to be confused with some leftist rag publication. As there will be a ton of them after Trump is re-elected.

    You don't find any variety on magazine racks in super markets anymore, if they even have magazine racks. It has been years since you could toss a MAD in your grocery cart while standing in the checkout line.

    You have had to go to a book store, something I rarely do.

    I remember those. Too bad we didnt really walk on the moon! . I have a piece of the Berlin Wall. It amazes me to look at that piece. I think about people touching it wanting to visit the other side.
