To celebrate MAD Magazine's 60th anniversary, Time Home Entertainment Inc. is foolishly teaming up with MAD Magazine on Totally MAD, a new collection of the legendary humor magazine's high-quality idiocy that is so widely un-anticipated, this overblown press release is needed to call attention to it.
Organized by decade, this oversized 256-page book features some of the world's best comedy writers, cartoonists and humorous illustrators -- "The Usual Gang of Idiots" -- as they have long called themselves. In addition, the book includes numbered pages for maximum reader convenience.
Totally MAD features a special foreword by long-time MAD fans Stephen Colbert and Eric Drysdale, plus five exclusive essays about MAD's cultural impact, the origin of Alfred E. Neuman and the magazine's history, including its landmark Supreme Court win against Irving Berlin, establishing the right to publish satirical lyrics.
Totally MAD includes such favorites as:
Spy vs. Spy
Al Jaffee's MAD Fold-in
Sergio Aragonés' A MAD Look At...
David Berg's The Lighter Side of...
Outrageous artwork of Don Martin and Tom Bunk
Movie and TV satires by Mort Drucker, Jack Davis and Tom Richmond
The MAD Strip Club
The Fundalini Pages
And much more
Totally MAD is the perfect gift, not just for MAD fans, but for anyone interested in pop culture, comedy, music, politics, entertainment, sports or history. In other words, absolutely everyone should buy this book. No exceptions will be tolerated!
