Alan King: Encyclopedia II - Mad magazine - Recurring subsections

Most magazines include ongoing, internal segments or domains, and Mad is no exception. An issue of Mad includes these "cluster" departments. Mad magazine - Table of Contents. The first page of each issue lists all the articles to follow, including their "Department" headings, which are plays on words. For example, a parody of a pizza chain's menu appeared under "The Passion of the Crust Department," an article entitled "William Shakespeare, Sports Commentator" was part of the "The Play-By-Pla ...

Alan King: Encyclopedia II - Mad magazine - The MAD 20

Since 1998, Mad has done an annual issue commemorating the "20 Dumbest People, Events and Things" of the year. These emphasize the visual motif above all else, parodying such things as movie posters, famous paintings, or fake magazine covers, though one or two text-heavier takeoffs are usually sprinkled into each year's assortment. The feature is reminiscent of the defunct Spy Magazine's "Spy 100" list, which purported to catalogue "Our Annual Census of the 100 Most Annoying, Alarming ...

Mad has had many imitators through the years. The three most durable of these were CRACKED, Sick, and Crazy.

Alan King: Encyclopedia II - Mad magazine - Mad merchandising

Mad has stepped gingerly into other media. Three albums of novelty songs were released in the early 1960s. A successful off-Broadway production, "The Mad Show," was staged in 1966, featuring sketches written by Mad personnel (as well as an uncredited assist by Stephen Sondheim). An early 1970s television pilot was not picked up. In 1979, a very successful board game was released. "The MAD Magazine Game" was an absurdist version of Monopoly in which the first player to lose all their money and go bankrupt was the winner. ...

Alan King: Encyclopedia II - Mad magazine - History

With the first issue (October-November, 1952), Mad was a comic book, and its subtitle, "Tales Calculated To Drive You" above the title Mad, referenced radio's Suspense which each week used the opening, "Tales well calculated to keep you in... Suspense!" Written almost entirely by Harvey Kurtzman, the first issue displayed the cartoon talents of Kurtzman, Wally Wood, Will Elder, Jack Davis, and John Severin. Wood, Elder, and Davis were the main three illustrators throughout the run of the comic book, along with a handful ...

Alan King: Encyclopedia II - Mad magazine - Recurring images and references

Regular Mad readers have been treated to a large number of recurring in-jokes, including Neuman's catch phrase "What? Me worry?", as well as such words as potrzebie, axolotl, Melvin, and Cowznofski. In the 1950s, the magazine received a fee to promote the soft drink Moxie, and that product's logo would occasionally appear in illustrations. This experiment was an attempt by Feldstein to convince Gaines th ...

Alan King: Encyclopedia II - Mad magazine - Contributors and controversy

Mad provided an ongoing showcase for many of the best satirical writers and artists. The magazine fostered an unusual group loyalty. Even though several of the contributors were earning far more than their Mad pay in such fields as television and advertising, they steadily continued to provide material for the publication. Among the notable artists were the aforementioned Davis, Elder and Wood, as well as Mort Drucker, George Woodbridge, and Paul Coker. Writers such as Dick DeBartolo, Stan Hart, Frank Jacobs, Tom Koch ...

Alan King: Encyclopedia II - Tautology - Logical tautologies

A logical tautology is a statement that is true regardless of the truth values of its parts. For example, the statement "All crows are either black, or they are not black," is a tautology, because it is true no matter what color crows are. The opposite of a tautology is a contradiction, which is a statement that is always false regardless of the truth values of its parts. Tautologies can be used to introduce a red herring in an argument, but the two are not mutually inclusive. The mathematical symbol for a tautology is .See also:
