What a find! While rummaging thru stuff, this just popped up. It is pristine – except for the “fold-in.” (If I have to explain, you probably don’t care.)
- Inside front cover: Don Martin cartoon.
- Blue Eyed Kook – Cool Hand Luke parody, drawn by Mort Drucker, Written by Stan Hart
- Al Jaffee – Vex Education Department
- Lighter Side of: Driving – written and drawn by David Berg
- An AMBER alert – didn’t call it that, but it was a MAD public service ad looking for a missing “hippie.”
This had to be a confiscated copy, it’s in such great condition. But that doesn’t make sense because I was married in August 1968. Maybe this was a wedding present!
I discovered Mad magazine when I was about ten years old. On a camping vacation in Northwest Michigan. My cousin and I found this and spent the rest of the vacation quoting – and making up quotes – from the magazine.
It was the older Boomer generation’s Simpsons.
I am just so overjoyous.
Oh Lordy, I was a devout MAD reader. My older brother used to get it, and I was reading around that time although I don’t remember that particular issue. Don Martin rocked, and I loved the movie parodies too — I particularly remember a “My Fair Lady” spoof called “My Fair Lester” about a guy being schooled to be, you know, what passed for hip in those days.

Oh Lordy is right! I had the same flashback – it was so wicked!
That is so way way cool. I want a Time Magazine from 1968 (I forget which month, but it had an article about the first dialysis patients)

@Krissi from Krississippi: eBay? Need to find the specific issue, remember Time is a weekly – and was Waaaaaaaaaay back then too.
