Founded as a comic book by Editor Harvey Kurtzman and
publisher William Gaines in 1952, Mad and its gap-toothed mascot
Alfred E. Newman pioneered populist satire and inspired many lesser imitators. One
distinctive feature of the magazine for almost its entire existence was its
ability to run without advertising, allowing it to tear apart materialist
culture without fear of biting the hands that fed it. Instead, for decades, the
magazine ran fake spoof ads and comic strips that inspired many artists of
the future.
I hope you enjoy my small collection of Mad art
pertaining to the Navy and Nautical Spoof ….
