Remember MAD magazine and when it first came out? Well some of you might. But--there were many others that were like it--remember all the names of those magazines?

I certainly remember Alfred E. Neuman and "What, me worry?" and read many of those mags but I was more into comic books at the time like Superman and Batman when Mad started out. There were many competitors but I think the only one I ever paid much attention to was "Cracked".

Anyone remember "Cracked", "SICK" or most obscure of all..."Phooey"?

How about Howard the Duck and National Lampoon in the 70's?

I thought "Howard The Duck" was a hilarious movie. Never been sure why it got such bad press...maybe they didn't send enough cocaine to the news media types so they got panned. That IS how business is done in that industry...
