Mad Magazine used to be conservative and libertarian. For 40 years.

They went hard core progressive.

Let them rot.

#####

“The 2017 reorganization and subsequent 2018 reboot both struggled with finding an identity for MAD in an increasingly satire-saturated world. Between websites that can deliver topical comedy in real time and a fiercely divided American populace who cannot agree on what comedy is because their preferences break down along party lines, MAD struggled to find an elusive niche. When political humor seemed to work, MAD doubled down on lampooning the Trump administration, which earned some critical praise but likely alienated conservative readers as well as putting the magazine in direct competitions with late night shows that were delivering content nightly rather than once every two months.”

Alas, with the current issue, Forbes rebooted. What happened to Forbes is exactly what you describe happened to MAD.

Steve Forbes still has his column but is beating the dead horses he has flogged for years.

RIP MAD

RIP Forbes

Only after Bill Gaines and Al Goldstein passed away. The cartoons in the margins were the best! 😂
