the date, 1952. in the 40s there were things you should never joke about. religion, politics, things were still sacred. m.a.d. magazine changed that. it was a precursor to underground comics in the late 60s. i never had been exposed to that kind of humor before. it was like shaking your fist at authority in a clever and funny way. in case you re not familiar with m.a.d. it s a magazine of broad attire aimed at everything americans hold. sex, success, beauty, patriotism, anti-patriotism, war groups, anti-war groups, you name it. in one issue or another, m.a.d. has aimed its blunt instrument at it. i remember begging my father to buy the issue of king kong m.a.d. magazine because it was network, like nut work. i was trying to sell him on it.
