Hi MAD-guys...

I love the magazine... I´m an addict to MAD.... are there any cure?

-Elisabeth Juul Holm

Nope. 
madam or sir:

how do i use the mad cd that arrived today with my son's mad magazine? 
huh. thanks to you, steve

-Steve Kesten

1) Pry it out of your son's hands. 2) Buy a CD player, or, better yet, shell out a couple grand for a CD-ROM PC. 3) Shove it in there. 4) Hit play on a CD player -OR- If on a PC, go to your CD drive (varies for operating system) and click on one of the EXEs and see what happens! 
Mad Magazine RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys at Mad Magazine are the best. Everytime I buy your your magazine 
i just laugh my a** off. I think Mad Magazine is well worth the money I 
pay. I have only one request, MORE SPY VS. SPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Well that is all i ask.

-Joey D'Alessandro

You laugh out loud while reading MAD? What do the people around you think? Did you consider their feelings at all? Do you care? I'm just kidding, of course. :) 
I've been a sick puppy.  I've been collecting your magazine for some
time now (since I was a kid).  I have 'em from the 70's 80's and 90's. 
Even some that are older.  My oldest is Jan. '59.  Don't care what other
people think, but it beats stamp collecting.

-Bill G.

Anything beats stamp collecting. Collecting People Magazine is better than collecting stamps. Unless you have really cool stamps... 
Hey Greg, 
    

   I hope you can help me. I've been tring to find a series of mad 
paperback books called SATSQ. I remember them from my childhood and 
can't find any info on them. I have a twelve year old son that I would 
like to show these books. They were some of the funniest books I've 
ever read. I can't believe I'm the only one in the world that has seen 
or heard of them. Please, help me! Please! Thanks for any help you can 
provide.

-B. Bailey

Actually, I have one of those books, but it's not for sale! :) Other than the one I own, I have never seen them anyplace else, but then again I haven't really been looking, either. Your best bet is to look in some used book stores. I love used books. 
Have you guys ever made fun of Beavis and Butthead? I'm talking about the 
show. I think you guys should.

-Kevin Kelley

Thanks for specifying that you meant the show, at first I thought you meant the other Beavis & Butthead! Anyhoo, a really... uh, funny satire of B & B growing old is in issue 336. Oh, I'm laughing just thinking about it... hahah... 
Mad is the best magazine ever wrote.  Jack Ackermann is a mule and here's to
the second generation mad readers.  Live short and die poor!
Viva Alfred E.

-ScrmngTree

And from the second generation will spur a third, and from the third, a fourth! Long live MAD Mag! 
Do you nkow where the official MAD web site is?  I would like to download
pictures and things like that, but I'm not exactly sure where I can find
stuff to download--perhaps you could help me out?

-Erin Czerniak

There is no "official" MAD web site. If you're on America Online (for whatever your reasons are), go to keyword MAD to visit MAD Online. 
Funky Electric Chicken Sped Number Five!!!!!!!!!!!

-Husker562

Onward, and godspeed! 
Your Mad Web site is sooo cool! Keep up the good work!

-Anonymous

Thanks! I was going to "keep up the good work", but after your pressure to do so, I've decided to let this site just fall apart! (Just KIDDING!) 
Alfred E. Neuman is Dave Letterman, only the ears have been changed to
protect the innocent.

-Jeff T. Patterson

Oh yeah? Well, I have picture proof of it! 
--I`ve been reading MAD since the age of eleven.
This has screwed me up so badly, that i´m now studying to become af
math-teacher, so that I can earn a living harrassing kids for years to
come....!

-Elisabeth Juul Holm

That makes me put soooo much faith in today's teachers' motivations! 
MAD has gone downhill since Bill Gaines died.  I have over two hundred
in my collection, so I obviously like the magazine and am not inclined
to insult it.  But the truth is that the executives and bureaucrats came
in and made MAD mediocre.  Oh well, the older issues are still great.

Oh yeah, your page is slow.  No offense.

-???

I didn't read MAD before Mr. Gaines died, so I wouldn't know. But I've heard stories! Anyways, no offense taken! 
I am a 
realllllyyyyyyhhhhvvvvffffff ''hehehe'' big fan of mad could you 
please sead me as much mad stuff as you posiblity can thanks.

-Paul Laxer

I'm not quite sure what "sead" means... is it legal? However, if you meant "send" (and I know you did), then... of course I would send you as much MAD stuff as I possibly can. However, since I have no money, that comes out to... nothing. Hehehe. 
i<m lost

-Richard Steiner

Yet you still somehow managed to mail me about it. 
After over 25 years, don't you think you should have Alfred E.Neuman's 
tooth fixed???

-Lloyd Bryant

Sure, but then he'd also have to grow taller, get married, and have a buncha little kids. Would you want to meet up with Alfred E. Neuman's kids? 
My name is Gus Tello and I am a Multimedia Artist/Specialist from
Houston Texas. I am interested in selling my early collection of Mad
Magazines. From my own assessments, I believe that they average in the
"Good" to "Fair" condition range. Where can I find some potential
buyers?

The following is a list of the Mad Comic Books that I own:

        issue no. 7  (1 copy)
        issue no. 8  (1 copy)
        issue no. 10 (1 copy)
        issue no. 11 (2 copies)
        issue no. 12 (1 copy)
        issue no. 13 (1 copy)
        issue no. 16 (1 copy)
        issue no. 17 (1 copy)
        issue no. 18 (1 copy)

Please e-mail me back for some form of guidance for selling these
issues. I appreciate your time. My e-mail addresses are:

        business e-mail: gtello@halnet.com
        personal e-mail: augusto@insync.net
 
By the way, cool web-page. I'm glad that someone has the same interests
as I do. Mad Magazine is the reason that I draw for a living today. As
far as I'm concerned, Mort Drucker is the man!

-Gus Tello

Thanks for the kind words, they're always welcomed! :) As for selling your old issues, the best I can do is tell people who read this that if they want to contact you about it, click here. 
I think your magazine is sooooooooooo cool.  All I do all day is read it.
 It's amazing how little a life I have.  One of my friends dissed your
magazine and I kicked his butt so bad that I put him in the hospital. 

P.S.  Tell Mr. Neuman I said hi

-Jkd3903316

That's nice. Thanks for sharing. Bye-bye now. 
 To put it lightly, this page ROCKS!!!!!   Mainly because it's pretty 
much the only MAD magazine web page out there (I've counted 4 so far).  
Do you happen to know of any OTHER MAD pages?  If so, write back.  
Thanks.

-Ben Juneau

I've only seen 4 too. But watch, I'm such a trend-setter, now that this page is up, tons of MAD web pages'll be popping up for the next few months... just you watch. 
Dear MAD you are pathetic, your magazine consists of hack writing, your 
artists draw like pre-schoolers and your magazine generelly sucks, 
fortunetly thats all I have time for.

-Ackermann Jack

Heh. I've actually gotten a few more of these type of letters. And, like this one, most of the writers can't spell. Go figure. I'd like to know why MAD haters go to MAD web pages in the first place, but oh well!
