it's a mad, mad world


it brings me great joy to see my children continuing down the mad path forged by their father.

i LOVED mad magazine when i was a kid. and if i were still now able to actually stay awake at night, i'm sure i'd enjoy reading a copy before bedtime.

i, or rather, my mother, saved all of my back issues, and passed them along to jared. they are stacked in piles in various parts of his room - maybe a fortune in the making? probably not, but a great 'read' nonetheless.

jared has had a subscription himself for some time now, really relishing the sarcastic humor - an lo an behold, i've even caught jane on a number of occasions, reading silently with her glasses on (snickering). even she digresses.

'the gloves are off' political satire, spy v. spy, the lighter side of ... all our favorites! and there's always a pearl at the end - the foldover back flap, revealing in text and image a final thought for you to carry with you. it's maddening, in the most delicious way possible!
