Hold it sideways and have some fun., November 1, 2003
This review is from: Mad Strikes Back Book 2 (Mad Reader) (Paperback)
You have to hold this book sideways to read it so there you already look a bit Mad to begin with.
In the 1950s America was a very conservative place so when Mad hit the newsstands of anytown USA it was like the cultural equivelant of an A-bomb going off. Mad parodied anything that moved and was freshest and most vital in the beginning of its run.
The parodies remain a fresh today as they did then with hundreds of small sight gags that will take more than one rereading to find.

This review is from: Mad Strikes Back Book 2 (Mad Reader) (Paperback)
Funny stuff from the early days of Mad. The crisp b&w art in this 50th anniversary edition looks great. Handy paperback size. Be sure to check out the 1st volume of this series, "The Mad Reader".
