Double Holy-Shit!
I used to have that issue--bought it on the newsstand because I ALWAYS bought Mad Magazine back then, every issue, after my brother stopped buying it.
And I remember that cartoon--the caption, but only vaguely the picture! Looks like a Jack Davis drawing.

I remember it, too! I was 13 and I bought Mad Magazine religiously. I think all the mags are gone but I have it on DVDs--the set MAD put out.
I learned a lot from them.

I agree. The political satire is just as relevant today as ever.

It appears that human nature pretty much stays the same.

If you fold it right, it turns into a picture of Trump wiping his ass with the constitution. ;)

And if you fold it left, do you see a picture of Lady Liberty wiping her ass with the Turnip?

There is improvement since then. They don’t hate the very rich anymore. :sarcasm:

I used to read my big bro's Mad Magazine as a kid. I do think it helped me gain a healthy skepticism of politicians and the wealthy.
