Greg,
This is the third time that I have tried to send out this message. I have checked your web site and have not seen it posted with the other messages which you have recieved. Please post this, maybe someone will read in and have some ideas on how I can get the issue.

As young boy I recall reading a cartoon in Mad Magazine about becoming an executive. The story line was centered around the idea that you had to keep paper from touching your desk. In a series of panels you go from one office to another all with men who had different amounts of paper on their desk. The last desk was free of paper, until a young man placed note on it. The "would be executive" behind the desk shouts that because paper had touched his desk he would never become president of the company.

Does anyone have a copy or know how I can get a copy. I can be e mailed at lash_larue@msn.com.

Sorry for not posting this. I normally only post a letter if I have some kind of intelligent response to it, and for this one I didn't. But now I see that you have quite a passion for this issue, so I'll invite anybody that knows about it to e-mail Ken! Go on, do it!

To Greg

Well, now I have a Spy VS Spy Gallery with a growing number of Spy pictures! Check it out, friend!

Mad comics rule over all comics.

Superman's probably giving MAD some tough competition, though (it's Superman VS Alfred E.!)... but they're both owned by DC so it'll all work out in the end. Jimmy!

YOU SICK, DEMENTED, IRRATIONAL, UNEDUCATED, PEA-BRAINED, PERVERTED GROUP OF MISDIRECTED MISCREANTS. WHAT DO YOU GAIN GOING AROUND MAKING SICK JOKES AND CARICATURES OF INNOCENT PEOPLE. ABOUT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO READ YOUR MAGAZINE OR CHECK ON YOUR WEBSITE ARE PEOPLE SICKER (IF THAT IS POSSIBLE) THAN YOU ARE.
NOW TELL ME HOW CAN I GET PAST ISSUES OF MAD SPECIALS. I AM A BROKE A** WHO NEITHER HAVE A CREDIT CARD NOR A BANK ACCOUNT.
KEEP THE GOOD WORK. I LOVE YOU GUYS.
GET BACK TO ME IF YOU DARE.
