    This issue looks excellent.

    How do you go about doing a parody of the movie before it comes out?

    Also, what is “the secret?”

  2. Tom says:

    Concerning doing parodies in advance of a film’s release… that’s a long answer that is better off for the “Sunday Mailbag”.

    As for “The Secret”… I have no idea.

  3. Shh! It’s a secret! You’ll have to buy the magazine to find out! You too, Tom! Ehh, probably just a movie not well-promoted.
    That magazine cover is now a LiveJournal icon on two of my journals. The top of “MAD”, the bottom of “Muggle!”, and the sides of the picture fit into a perfect square.

  5. Tom says:

    Thanks for the kind words, cartoonizen.

  6. Tom says:

    Turns out “The Secret” is a self-help new age sort of book which claims negative thoughts are responsible for everything bad that happens to us. Whatever…
