Mad Magazine has amused and outraged readers for nearly 70 years but now it is being pulled from newsstands, triggering testimonials from comedians and cartoonists.
The rollicking satirical mag with its freckled, big-eared mascot Alfred E. Neuman will be published monthly with original satire only until September, its publisher DC Comics told ABC news on Thursday.
"So starting with issue #11 the magazine will feature classic, best-of and nostalgic content from the last 67 years." Goodbye, Mad Magazine. Thanks for inspiring generations & generations of comedy & most of all, thanks for the laughs. There was a moment in so many of our childhoods where you were the greatest thing ever.#thanksMAD pic.twitter.com/ZJS8HxxqtFThe publication had more than two million subscribers at its high point in the early 1970s, but that plummeted to just 140,000 in 2017, wrote associate professor of communications Michael J. Socolow.
