They had so many great issues and covers. MAD was for most of us 'standard reading' each summer. This one is well represented with some of the greats. Who do you recognize?
...Batman, Superman, Gremlins, Bugs Bunny, Clint Eastwood, Edward G. Robinson, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, James Caan, Jack Nicholson, Richard Gere, Robert Redford, Danny Glover, Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Daffy Duck...
I had every Mad magazine for the whole decade of the 60's, I'm sure it's because my Mom read "My" magazine cover to cover. Spy vs Spy . Berg's eye view, all the parodies. Yeh
Whatever the medium is ,comics, Mad,magazines, baseball cards , etc. It was still reading and provided a medium for imagination and enjoyment.
The average bungalow probably has AC , satellite TV , internet and a microwave. Not much different than their real home .
I'd rather be playing sports and exploring the Colony than surfing the web or watching HBO. Interactive meant for us hangin around the luncheonette to all hrs of the night , not playing Madden football.

What about the rear cover folding to reveal another message . Spy vs Spy was cool , never a word spoken , just B & W .
