Awwe man, i was really looking forward all this time to a new movie parody by you, oh well looks like ill have to wait another 3 months…
Looks like a great issue, and some topical pieces in there as well. I LOVE the cover. That’s classic MAD right there. And I look forward to reading the Harry Potter piece as well. Hopefully it arrives soon, I’m sick with the damn flu and have nothing to do :p
Hi Tom i want this new release of mad, i hope i can get to .
Hi Tom,
The MisMatch.com piece is not uncredited…it was written by Scott Maiko! Haven’t gotten “Bo Confidential” yet, but looking forward to it!

D’OH! That piece is such a text crazy jumble I couldn’t find the credits even though I looked for them. Thanks for pointing that out, Mike!
From the feature run-down, it appears as if (at least for now) MAD is sticking with their traditional format. I was curious to see if the quarterly publication schedule might bring some tweaks, additions, or format changes…but I suppose that’s where the old “if it’s ain’t broke, don’t fix it” thing comes in…at least right out of the gate on their new schedule.
There are some changes, especially with the layouts and the table of content/letters pages. Content wise it’s similar to what the last year or so of issues has been.
Does it have to be quarterly? How about seven or eight issues with fewer pages?
