MAD Magazine on Hi-Fi, in 1958


Recommended Posts

I confess, I just loved MAD Magazine as a kid and just couldn't wait for my next issue to arrive in the mail. 

I came across this extract this morning from 1958, some twenty years before I entered the world, 30 years before I knew of the magazine, and forty years before I came to appreciate hi-fi.

Sadly, after what has been an amazing journey, the licence for the Australian edition of MAD has come to an end, with the last issues to publish being #92 of MAD Classics, and #537 of MAD in late December 2022.

Mad Magazine did satire so well.  It's a testament to the quality that much of what was published can still hold up today.  My favourite parts were Spy vs. Spy, and the fold-in -- such creativity!

I had a mate that never did the fold in and would wait till I bought my copy. 
He kept his in plastic sleeves. 
 

like all good publications I only bought them for the articles……. 😜

Yep, I also was a huge fan of Mad back in the day (late 60's early 70's) - I still have quite a few stashed away somewhere.

 

Coming across them as I do  from time to time is a recipe for a few wasted hours and lots of laughs.

 

I'd rate several of their artists as cartoon geniuses with totally unique styles.  The US seems to have lost it's sense of humour since then.
