THE USUAL GANG OF IDIOTS: Wally Wood, Kelly Freas, Jack Davis, Mort Drucker, Don Martin, Bob Clarke, Joe Orlando, George Woodbridge and others (more or less). MAD is an American humor magazine founded in 1952 by editor Harvey Kurtzman and publisher William Gaines, launched as a comic book before it became a magazine. It was widely imitated and influential, affecting satirical media as well as the cultural landscape of the 20th century, with editor Al Feldstein increasing readership to more than two million during its 1970s circulation peak. The magazine is the last surviving title from the notorious and critically acclaimed EC Comics line, offering satire on all aspects of life and popular culture, politics, entertainment, and public figures. Its format is divided into a number of recurring segments such as TV and movie parodies, as well as freeform articles. Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, is typically the focal point of the magazine's cover, with his face often replacing that of a celebrity or character who is lampooned within the issue.

Mad is known for the stability and longevity of its talent roster, billed as "The Usual Gang of Idiots," with several creators enjoying 30-, 40- and even 50-year careers in the magazine's pages. According to the "Mad Magazine Contributor Appearances" website, more than 800 contributors have received bylines in at least one issue of Mad, but only three dozen of those have contributed to 100 issues or more. Al Jaffee has appeared in the most issues (479 as of October 2014). The other three contributors to have appeared in more than 400 issues of Mad are Sergio Aragonés, Dick DeBartolo, and Mort Drucker; Dave Berg, Paul Coker and Frank Jacobs have each topped the 300 mark. (The list calculates appearances by issue only, not by individual articles or overall page count; e.g. although Jacobs wrote three separate articles that appeared in issue #172, his total is reckoned to have increased by one.)

My daughter says this a week after she’s been told the classic “Pete and Repeat” joke. You know this, right? Joker: “Pete and Repeat sat on a log. Pete fell off. Who was left?” Rube: “Repeat.” Joker: “Okay, Pete and Repeat sat on a log…” For days, my daughter has told this joke to anyone within earshot. Now, for the first time, she actually understands it. “That is kind of funny,” she says. I agree. I taught her the joke, which I’d forgotten until I unearthed my copy of Tomfoolery: Trickery and Foolery with Words by Alvin Schwartz . Culled from a century of American folk humor, the book’s chestnuts range from droll to vaudevillian. Often, the book instructs you to injure your friends. These jokes are decidedly not-nice. Some are even a little wicked—the literary equivalent of Wile E. Coyote catching fire , or, if this reference is lost on you, Ren slapping Stimpy , or a Minion saying “bottom.” But my daughter’s slow-uptake reminds me of myself at her age—knowing that words or pokes are supposed to be funny, but not understanding why. As she reads, she stumbles over references to a daily life that looks nothing like her own: Finns fighting Russians, trains and harbors, rotary dials, Prince Albert in a Can. (Honestly, what is Prince Albert in a Can?) All the same, she’s riveted. And she’s more than ready to try her jokes on all of us. This makes me wonder: why? If we don’t get the joke, why read it—or tell it? What could possibly be the pleasure? For snappy answers, of course, I turn to the books I loved most, but understood least, as a child: my collection of Mad Magazine paperbacks. What, Me Worry? Mad magazine paperbacks consumed hours of my grade school attention. My collection—about 30 books— was inherited from a number of older boys. Greasy Mad Stuff, 1963. A side note: Recently, on the first day of my humor-themed literature class, when asked what made them laugh, student after student said, apologetically, “I have the sense of humor of a twelve year old boy.” “Why are we apologizing?” I asked. “And why do only twelve year-old boys get to laugh at gross, obnoxious things?” Since the semester just started, we’re still getting to the bottom of it (heh, heh, bottom). But (heh, heh, but) my students’ confessions remind me that even as a child, I knew there was something rude about my favorite books. They were not a joy I disclosed. As a kid, and as a girl in particular, reading my stack of Mad Magazine paperbacks felt sneaky. Like I was getting away with something. Like a hobby not to mention at slumber parties. Of course, bucking the social order is the point of Mad , which parodied everything from advertisements to politics to family relationships to movies. No target was safe, not even Mad books themselves (which were “garbage”) or their readers (who were “clods” and “idiots”). Every grandiose plan of the status-seeking was punctured by the pens of cartoonists Don Martin and Sergio Aragonés. Even stealth could get you blown to bits, as I learned from “Spy Vs. Spy.” The Lighter Side Of…I’m Not Exactly Sure. Passed through generations of boys, originally published in 1950s and 60s, the books were, frankly, puzzling. For example, the opening piece of 1959’s The Voodoo Mad describes “How To Be a Mad Non-Conformist.” In a nutshell: Conformists wear glasses and smoke pipes, enjoy “Technicolor movies,” and “read banal best-sellers.” Ordinary Nonconformists play bongos, grow beards, and read “boring literary journals.” Mad Nonconformists wear pith helmets and opera capes and read “the Roller Derby News.” What did any of this mean to me, a child of the 1970s and 80s? What was a Roller Derby, or, for that matter, a literary journal? What was the John Birch Society? Why was everyone so irritated by teen-agers? Was it really so easy for women to lose their bikini tops? According to Mad , book clubs were for men and bridge clubs were for women. Writers were unhappy. Married people were miserable. Hippies were smelly. Celebrities were shallow and infinitely mockable, particularly someone named Mickey Rooney and a couple named Liz & Dick. I didn’t understand much of what I read. And I certainly didn’t seek the answers from my parents or librarians. Instead, I studied the parodies of movies I’d never seen and signed membership cards to fake clubs. I played along. I’m pretty sure that my first act of literary interpretation—poring over lines and images, comparing parts of texts, digging deep—began with Mort Drucker’s parody of the 1969 movie “True Grit.” Mad Parody of “True Grit.” Image courtesy of MAD magazine. As a reader , Mad paperbacks taught me how to be patient and dogged with a text. (Of course, pictures of half-naked people always helped.) When confronted with references beyond comprehension—when I could have shut the book—I stuck around because I wanted to get the joke. The Shadow Knows. Somewhere along the way, those books also shaped me as a writer. Not that I’m aiming for lots of laughs; in fact, my characters are usually in despair. Likewise, the targets of Mad ’s satire were often dark: advertisers, war-mongers, the trappings of shallow consumer culture. I couldn’t have named it in those terms, but even as a child, I understood that shiny surfaces were never all they seemed. I also learned about narrative structure and economy—that on the page, it’s best to make an impact quickly. After all, a joke relies on the unexpected turn—the joker leads you in, makes you comfortable, and then zing! A gorilla jumps out! Sometimes, the zingers were spoken. Following Al Jaffee’s “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions,” I could script exits to possible conflicts. Al Jaffee’s “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions,” 1968. For example, if I ever got drenched in the rain on the way home from school, Jaffee provided my list of comebacks: Stupid Question: “Is it raining?” Snappy Answer 1: “No, I rode home in a water truck.” Snappy Answer 2: “No I’m practicing to be a water sprinkler.” Snappy Answer 3: “No, I’m drenched with liquid sunshine.” What power for a shy, short girl to imagine: turning words into cartoon wallop, something stinging and impressive. Except I’d never really say something like that out loud; if I did, I’d probably whisper. Instead, my shadow waged all my battles with the world. As a good kid, and as an emerging writer, I most adored—and best understood—the single frame images of Sergio Aragonés’ “The Shadow Knows.” In these features, adults and children were outwardly composed—but behind them, in shadow, was another story of rage, lust, fear, greed. The adults smiling through a boy’s concert were, in shadow, smashing the kid’s violin on his head. The couple politely chatting on a sidewalk were, in shadow, passionately kissing. Seemingly upstanding adults, in shadow, gathered around kids’ TV shows or ogled nude sculptures or kicked people into wishing wells. Sergio Aragones’ “The Shadow Knows.” Image courtesy of MAD magazine. The tension between public actions and private desires, encapsulated briefly, in images? Sounds like the makings of a great short story. Or maybe a few famous poems. Inside those books was an imaginative space where I had power. There, my fears were no more shameful than a man scared of the high dive. There, I could be wrong about everything—who Timothy Leary was, why Madison Avenue was such a big deal—and it never really mattered. I could be brave and snippy and snarky and gross. I could “plunder [the books] for clues to the universe,” as Roger Ebert once said—and sometimes glimpse “the machine inside the skin.” Now, as I type, my desk is stacked with the few remaining books from my collection. My daughter walks in. She asks: Question: “What are those books on your desk, Mama?” Answer 1: “Do I hear your father calling you?” Answer 2: “Shhh! Mama is doing research .” Answer 3: “Oh, child, these trashy books? These are your inheritance.” Your Etsy Privacy Settings.

Our Trader Vic’s Bartenders Guide book came in fantastic quality, and very very quickly! We had mentioned to the seller in our note that this tiki book would be a great addition to our growing collection, and he so kindly put a Elvis in Hawaii sticker on the package to make it a little extra special. Little did the seller know we were also going to Graceland for the first time that same week so it was almost as if it were meant to be. We made sure to save the sticker and put it on to our fridge, and we have been pouring ourselves into the many recipes Trader Vic had to share in his last book. Binding is beautiful, print is still clean and easy to read. It’s in such good condition that we actually carefully store the cover sleeve while reading the book, to keep it pristine. All in all a wonderful experience. Thank you!
