For some reason my Mom let me read MAD Magazine growing up. I loved SPY vs SPY, the cartoons in the margins, the spoofs on current events and movies and always loved the back page fold in. I was always mad (irony?) when some kid would fold in the back cover of a copy in the store. It seemed to take the fun out of it for me so I had to dig around for one that was unadulterated.
"The NY Times recently ran an interesting story on Al Jaffee, the mastermind behind the fold-in. Since its first appearance in the April 1964 issue of Mad magazine, the 87 year-old Al Jaffee has drawn every one of these backpage fold-ins. WOW!
Take a few minutes this Tuesday and rekindle your MAD magazine fold-in memories with this wicked cool digital gallery." - John Moore

Your Mom let you read them, because they used to be just plain funny! Even the satire back then wasn't really bad...OK, sometimes it was.
for some reason i can't subscribe to your feed. It just gives me some feedburner link that never updates?
Ok Mom, MAD magazine wasn't really all that bad. :)
Deyl, I think I have the feeds fixed. I'm still working on getting all of this web 2.0 stuff figured out.
I just read your post about your anniversary get a way. Sounds like so much fun!! Both you and Tanya wrote about staying at your favorite hotel but didn't name it. I'm curious, what hotel keeps you coming back?
