Man, I haven't had a MAD subscription in ages. I didn't realize they were still in print. Lol

I don't think this is real. If you search up the issue number you'll see the real version. It's also from 1974.

So did someone make this with AI 🤔

No, someone took an existing painting and modified it with copy/paste to show two middle fingers. Which is also ironic, given the message they're trying to send.

They're republishing old editions with new covers. Dunno if this is one of those

Its not real.

originally published

MAD #166, Apr 1974

lol yeah, otherwise MAD was WAAAAY ahead of its time 😂

EDIT: huh, does lemmy not support nested quotes or am I just dumb

That part isn't on the original cover. Is this a real foldout from a recent MAD issue that is an updated version of the 1974 cover?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

I can see the different levels of quote, but there's also spaces between them. Too many line breaks maybe?

Your reader might not support nested quotes though.

Yea I wondered that after I posted my comment but I wondered if it was a joke issue or something. A lot of the issues I had growing up had a front cover and a back one that would work if you flipped it the right way that was an alternative or a joke cover.

Hmm the original doesn't have that bit in the bottom right about the original concept. Is this a real MAD foldout based on an old cover but updated for the current hot topic?
