A graphic from Mad magazine #182 from April 1976. The larger piece this comes from is "A Mad Portfolio of Some Idealists' Dreams" by Arnoldo Franchioni.
I have been starting to visit and revisit Mad following the discovery of a huge box of old issues in the storage unit of my wife's late uncle. Some of this stuff has aged in rather interesting ways.

Spy vs. Spy is a political cartoon, but it’s not a Political Cartoon. The strip stakes its claim immediately via a single thematic masterstroke—overlaying the blind jingoism and deranged paranoia of Cold War politics onto the endlessly resilient slapstick framework of classic cartoons—and then spends the rest of its existence exploring every facet of that premise by remixing the established formula.
In our latest original feature, Gyasi Hall dives deep into Spy vs. Spy, Antonio Prohías’ iconic MAD Magazine comic strip. Its premise may seem simple, but its revolutionary sensibility has proven impossible to replicate. Click the image (or here) to read the piece.

I’m currently reading through some old MAD magazines for a personal project, and from an issue from 1965 I’ve found this
There’s a lot of history and pop culture that has been left behind in them, but this in particular stands out to me. The primordial ancestor of ASCII art, from when goddamn typewriters were relatively common. There’s something so wonderfully human about it, looking back almost 60 years into the past and seeing such a familiar form of creation.
