	Mad (magazine) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Mad is often credited by social theorists with filling a vital gap in political satire in the 1950s to 1970s, when Cold War paranoia and a general culture of censorship prevailed in the United States, especially in literature for teens.
		Mad was long noted for its absence of advertising, enabling it to skewer the excesses of a materialist culture without fear of advertiser reprisal.
		Today, the magazine is published by a branch of DC Comics and in recent years has used its advertising revenue to increase the use of color and improve the magazine's paper stock.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Mad magazine
		Mad magazine came to be because Harvey Kurtzman needed a raise.
		Mad was not an instant hit, but Gaines loved it, so he was willing to let the more popular titles subsidize it while it found its audience — which it did within a few months.
		Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, was first seen (in the context of Mad, at least) on the cover of The Mad Reader, published in November, 1954, by Ballantine Books, and containing reprints from the early issues.

	Mad Magazine St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Between the MAD fans who came of age with a jaundiced view of the worlds of advertising,; politics, and culture, and the MAD fans who grew up and actually joined those worlds, the magazine can be said to have become an enormous influence on contemporary American society.
		What immediately made MAD unique, aside from its irreverent, irrepressible spirit, was the way in which the text and art sparked a comic alchemy which neither could have achieved alone.
		MAD's popularity would eventually prove a life-saver for Gaines, who, along with other comics publishers, began to come under fire in 1953 from journalists, social critics, and senators for his line of crime and horror comics.

		On the other hand, "Mad" has been around continuously since the mid-50s, and while its affect on readers is reduced from the days when its views were often seen as at least controversial, its readership remains high along with the magazine's ability to keep a good level of humor.
		I read MAD Magazine as a kid back in the '60's and '70's, and have always appreciated the fact that although the humor is for the most part sophmoric, many of the jokes and parodies require that you actually understand the politics/literature/history/cultural reference that's being lampooned.
		MAD has published over 450 issues and the only unfortunate thing that can be said about this fact is that Alfred E. Neuman still hasn't been elected president yet or voted one of People's 50 sexiest celebrities.

		Although basically celebratory and uncritical, art historian Reidelbach's detailed history of Mad mentions recent criticisms of sexist and homophobic material in the magazine as well as Mad 's (and the comics industry's) contested policies on the ownership of commissioned artwork.
		Most amusing are descriptions of Gaines--who continues to run the profitable magazine as a "benevolent dictatorship"--and his idiosyncratic management theories (Mad accepts no advertising, has never conducted a reader survey and does little merchandising).
		The book is chock-full of Mad material--the usual "trash," as Mad always describes its own contents--as well as information on the many freelance artists and writers who have worked for the magazine.

	Magazine Reviews Shared by Preteens -- Mad Magazine
		I think the magazine is entertaining and fun to read (it’s relaxing) and it doesn’t have as many ads as other magazines do.
		Mad Magazine often makes fun of itself; for example, the cover of one of its “collectable” editions says, “Buy Both Editions (we need the money).” The magazine runs “Spy vs. Spy” cartoons that are comical, and the way it plays on words is amusing as well.
		Parents might want to look at this magazine first to make sure their kids will enjoy it, but overall Mad is a relaxing read that is reasonably appropriate for preteens and teens.
