Mad magazine - Mad fold-ins. In a parody of Playboy's centerfolds, each issue of Mad from 1964 on featured a "fold-in" on its inside back cover, designed by artist Al Jaffee. A question would be asked, which apparently was illustrated by a picture taking up the bulk of the page. When the page was folded inwards, the inner and outer fourths of the picture combined to give a surprising answer in both picture and words. With over 350 Fold-Ins to date, Jaffee has appeared in more issues of Mad than any other artist. See also:

Mad magazine: Encyclopedia II - I Spy - Popular culture

A sure sign of a film or TV show's popularity is a Mad magazine parody. In their version, the show was called "Why Spy?" featuring characters called "Killy" and "Scoot". It received predictably mixed reviews: [1] The series was also parodied in an episode ("Die Spy") of the television series Get Smart, in which agent Maxwell Smart pretends to be an international table tennis champion. The scriptwriters successfully imitate the rhythms of the banter between Robinson and Scott. Robert Culp makes a cameo appearance in the episode. The Dead Kennedys have a song called I Spy on their f ...
