I have so much nostalgia for things like print magazines. "Mad" was great when I was young. Maybe I wouldn't enjoy it much anymore - it feels like the endless onslaught of memes and webcomics fill this slot for me.
And yet, print magazines are still available. I will pick up a new issue of "2600" every once in a great while if I'm at a B&N and it catches my eye.
Congratulations to Jaffee, and to "Mad".

- wyldfire 6y agoYes, sorry for being unclear. I meant print magazines in general. We've lost many but some still remain.
- rendall 6y agoYou weren't unclear
- techrat 6y agoI have a copy of the Special "All Jaffee" Issue. The last issue to contain an original fold-in for Jaffee's retirement. It is dated August 2020. Pic: https://i.imgur.com/PGMqDGb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PGMqDGb.jpg
- herodoturtle 6y agoThis is awesome! Please also share the fold-in? Unfolded and folded ^_^ Yes I'm a random stranger asking you to do WORK on the internet, but it's worth a shot.

- herodoturtle 6y agoThanks! Great article too ^_^
- herodoturtle 6y agoWe emigrated when I was very young, and a Mad book was the very first English book I came to own as a young boy. I have no idea what it was called. It was around A5 or maybe A6 in size, about 100 or so pages, and it was all about dungeons and executioners and prisoners. It was dark, silly, and once my English improved to the point where I could understand it, it was down right hilarious! Definitely shaped my sense of humour ^_^ Congrats to Al on reaching this epic milestone.
