Ah well... the Complete Mad CD-Rom set is really cool if you can find it on eBay. Every issue scanned up to about 1998.

If anything, they re-print the same stuff way too often now. :(

Post by: DaveMMR on January 03, 2005, 08:08:28 am: The last time I looked at an issue (about 3 or 4 years ago) there were real ads (what I thought was a parody on the back was actually a real ad for Altoids). I don't know if they changed back but that's what killed it for me.
