 '''''Mad''''' is a humor magazine for older children and teenagers that was published for 67 years until July 2019, after which it merely published reprints.

 The first Mad magazine was published by [[Harvey Kurtzman]] and William M. Gaines in 1952. It was called ''Tales Calculated To Drive You Mad'' and was a parody on [[superhero]]-comics. Mad has brought awareness of consumer hype, [[alcoholism]] and [[drug abuse]], as well as the futility of age-old feuds such as the [[Arab-Israeli conflict]]. Since 1956 the mascot of the magazine has been ''Alfred E. Neuman'', a grinning boy with a missing tooth and protruded ears. He is seen on every Mad magazine-cover since this day. Famous authors and signatories of Mad are Dave Berg, [[Al Jaffee]], Don Martin and Sergio Aragonés. Typical rubrics are the Fold-in pictures, [[Spy vs. Spy]] and "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions".
