The Fundalini Project

Mad Magazine #438, February 2004,
was a very special issue because it introduced the world to...

It became one of the most popular sections of the magazine until issue #550,
showcasing the work of old and new idiot contributors in a rapid-fire, compact format.

It would have been even better if within the first 62 issues (#438 through #499)
Mad had put the name of the contributor next to each contribution!
They opted to put a catch-all "Friends of Fundalini" list at the end of the pages instead.

When you're an idiot who likes to build accurate lists of contributors and their contributions,
this has a way of stopping you just short...

I've managed to get some help from Jerry Moore, S. J. Johnson
and at least one agreeable art-director, but there's more matching to be done.

Mad Kids came on the scene during this time with its 14 issues in a similar approach to
The Fundalini Pages with Alfred's Brain Drool.
I'm attempting to match contributors within this series,
a little more challenging task because some of the droolings contain reprints
of past regular issue Mad material,
so I'm trying to note those original sources when they become evident.
