5 out of 20 of the “Dumbest Things of the Year” are Trump-related… Not surprising but that must be a record.

I actually have two pieces in this issue, one being a six page parody of the movie “Sully” written by Dick DeBartolo. Six pages was probably as long as the actual script for that movie was. The other is a MAD 20 piece: a spoof of the movie poster for “Pets” starring Anthony Weiner. I’ll post a peek at that stuff when MAD gives me the ok.

So… what are you waiting for?!? Go out and buy a copy, clod!
