    Absolutely. I used to read it from cover to cover.

    A memorable issue had a collection of fake product labels that were a match for the real ones. I remember that I put the "Roll, Pineappled Dice" label over the Dole Diced Pineapple label and put it in the fridge. That evening, I heard my father yell from the kitchen, "What the heck is this cheap pineapple". I don't remember what they all said, but I do remember a label for "Cancer" brand cigarettes, and I found this one online:

    What, me worry? I suppose it's online now and no longer in print.

    I got a pile of MAD Magazines in storage right now. All from the early 60s.

    Not really, but I did find the few I read had a humorous element to them.

    Perhaps now that I've grown up I would have a different view of them.  At the time the visual was too busy, like music that is too loud.

     Remember “Cracked” magazine? It was a rip-off or a knock-off of “Mad”.
