Join my site's Facebook group for bonus Madness and follow on Twitter too.  Here are links to all 141 Mad Specials and all 31 annuals (More Trash, The Worst and Follies). Mad Specials and annuals were reprints of past articles, sometimes with new stuff thrown in. Each magazine's contents page has reprinted article titles linked to their regular issue sources. Where new stuff exclusive to the magazines happen, I note the article title in red. The UGOI (Usual Gang Of Idiots: contributing artists, writers, etc.) responsible for non-reprinted, original material has beed added to each idiot's respective list. Look at Mad as it happens at their website: madmagazine.com.  A nice CNN article on Al Jaffee and other Mad guys (with a reference to this site!) 
Al Jaffee / Mort Drucker / Frank Jacobs / Don Martin / Harry North, Esq. / Don (Duck) Edwing / Norman Mingo / Dave Berg / Max Brandel / Will Elder / Tom Koch / Jack Davis / Dick DeBartolo / Wally Wood / Stan Hart / Jack Rickard / Lou Silverstone / Antonio Prohias / Irving Schild / Harvey Kurtzman / Angelo Torres / Arnie Kogen / George Woodbridge / Larry Siegel / Paul Peter Porges / Lester Krauss / Bob Clarke / Joe Orlando / Kelly Freas / Sergio Aragones / Drew Friedman / Richard Williams / Tom Bunk / John Caldwell / Sam Viviano / Paul Coker, Jr. / Mark Fredrickson / Peter Kuper / Mike Snider / Rick Tulka / Hermann Mejia / Desmond Devlin / Tom Richmond See the full UGOI (Usual Gang of Idiots) list of around 800 idiots! A casual visit with Mad writer Frank Jacobs.

QUESTION OF THE MOMENT How often has Mad bowled us over with images of toilets on Mad Magazine covers?  |
| Dear Doug, About 13 years ago I bought a house and really wanted to make my office something unique. I decided to laser copy some of my favorite Mad covers and use them as wallpaper. To this day I've not grown tired of looking at them, mainly because I have no business and only use my office to walk through to get to my bar out back. Jamie Jamie, Very impressive. Looks like it took a lot of work. I put all the photos you sent in a big, long strip here. Thanks for sharing your room. Doug p.s. Mad's blog has taken notice of your efforts! |

| Hey Doug ...your site is really an important reference - not only of the many decades that Mad Magazine has been published, but also of the type of humor that was prevalent in each decade. You are in many ways an historian and have done a great job. |

Have you seen Mad artist Tom Richmond's fantastic new book? |

If you happened upon my site and you actually made it this far down the page, I've got news for you: You have more than a passing interest in Mad Magazine. And if you haven't had the pleasure of reading Frank Jacobs' masterpiece The Mad World of William M. Gaines, then I'm not sure what to say. |
