I don't know all the particulars. All I know is that Mad is kaput (as in Roger Kaputnik). I've been reading Mad on and off since it was 35¢ (Cheap!) an issue. All my favorites of the usual gang of idiots are gone—Dave Berg, Al Jaffee, Jack Davis, Mort Drucker, Don Martin, Sergio Argones. Even the letters to the editor, all starting with "Sirs," were funny and the responses even funnier. I always enjoyed the satires of current movies, The Oddfather, being one of my favorites. Everything about Mad was clever and witty. Sad to see it go. Any memories?
