MAD Magazine contributor confirms the publication will cease circulation
after almost 70 years

Pop culture 1 hour ago

The satirical publication, which once boasted a circulation of more than 2
million, is reportedly shutting down after 67 years, longtime MAD
contributor David DeGrand confirmed. The magazine, which has not made an
announcement, is known for its subversive covers and house style as well
as empowering the cartoonists who worked for it.

Of course, Alfred E. Neuman will land on his feet, but *I* am a bit concerned
about Giz Wiz Dick DeBartolo!

Long Live Don Martin. Ka-Floink.

P.S.  I wonder if mini-golf courses are now having to lock up their windmills,
after that Bachelorette season!  #Don'tLookEthel! :-)
