I’m continually impressed with the breadth of uses for Free Republic. The odd computer questions, job requests, and recipes are to be expected on any public forum, and you do find them here, sprinkled about. But I’m puzzled why you would go to one of the preeminent conservative political websites of the web to ask about a forty-six year old issue of Mad magazine?

It shouldn't surprise anyone really. Look at all the parodies in threads. I suspect many Freepers grew up reading MAD especially those of us over 50.

I had a two magazine habit. I also read Cracked. It's cover had Sylvester P. Smythe on the cover and listed as Janitor on the inside cover.

Last week they had the movie on, The Sand Pebbles. I actually have never seen it, it’s totally not my sort of movie.

My husband however started watching it, and I told him about the send-up in Mad years ago. I remembered what I thought was one of the drawings. I clearly remember that drawing. I laugh every time I remembered it over all these years.

So I bought it to show him how funny it was, only it was NOT in there!? I now do not know where the one little box I remember that was so funny was.
