Mad Magazine is an American humor magazine founded by editor Harvey Kurtzman and publisher William Gaines in 1952. It was widely imitated and influential, impacting not only satirical media but the entire cultural landscape of the 20th century. The last surviving title from the notorious and critically acclaimed EC Comics line, the magazine offers satire on all aspects of life and pop culture, politics, entertainment, and public figures. Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, is typically the focal point of the magazine's cover. |
