All you folks wanting a MAD archive, you've got it:
Every issue of MAD on DVD-ROM up through 2005. Co-incidentally, it's in my computer right now. Last night, I was reading through some of the 70's issues, looking up old movie parodies like 'Balmy and Clod," "The Ecchorcist," and of course, "Jaw'd."

Kevy Baby - I don't think the snappy retort you quoted could possibly be right. MAD was never that explicit or directly profane. (They were really pushing it with their infamous "flipping the bird" cover of issue 166, 1974. my mother banned MAD from our household after that one. Not that this stopped me buying it.) Such language would have been far more at home at National Lampoon, which, if you follow the link above, you will find also available on DVD-ROM.

Always loved Mad. I was first and foremost a Don Martin man. Also liked Dave Berg and the movie/song satires. Loved the fold-ins.

YEs! Al Jaffee is a guest at this years San Diego Comic Con. I look forward to meeting him.

MAD is now published by DC COmics for the past few years, so ads and color are the standard. Gotta pay for those Batman movies somehow. They're still funny but alot of the talent we knew back when have passed on.

I think they're still publishing "Classic Mad" which is reprinting the originals.

You are probably correct. I was thinking about that right after I posted.

Since I also read Nat'l Lampoon, that is probably where I got it.

I vaguely remember:

[to the tune of do re mi]
"Jaws, a mouth, a great big mouth,
Teeth, those things that kind of crunch,
grin, the way sharks say hello,
me, his favourite sunday lunch
...something something... in the jaws of death,
something something something
yeech, he's also got bad breath,
that will bring us back to Jaws"

not bad memory for an old fogey !
