I just finished submitting my subscription to the best publication to ever be printed. That's right...MAD MAGAZINE! I had no idea this mag was still in circulation. I was just sitting in my recliner reminiscing about my youth, and one of the good memories was I remembered going to my grandparents house in San Antonio throughout the 70's. One of my uncle's still lived at home and I would sleep in his room when we visited.
There was always a copy of Mad laying around his room. Us kids would get sent to bed at night and I would climb in bed and look at this cool, weird magazine that I only really understood half of its content. I would force myself to look through the entire mag before enjoying the grand finale'...the fold in on the back cover. I loved this mag and for many years after the 70's, if I saw a copy on the news stand, I instantly reflected back to my childhood.
So you can imagine my delight tonight when I typed the magazine into a search engine and discovered it still existed. And it's not a bad deal 16 issues for $20. I cant wait to get my first copy.
P.S. Thanks to Wendy and Momthatsnuts for checking in on me.
