Will stop being published and will (mostly) stop producing new material.

The beginning of the end for all magazines?

They were still insanely relevant just a few years back when they parodied the super-popular Western The Virginian.

I have a subscription. Pretty hard to be funny when you’re not allowed to make fun of anything anymore.

I asked for a description to it once before my ninth birthday and my parents said "No" and so then I bought one on my own at Ford City and it strangely disappeared. I have the recent one with The Virginian if anyone wants to read it. My parents also wouldn't let me read Cosmos because Sagan don't believe in God. Whoa! The Weather Channel is stealing the White Sox's opening song for some stupid video about thunder. Get your own song, I say. I still love this country, though. G2G to the bathroom in a min. or two.

Cracked was always the AAA for Mad. Wonder if Mad's going web only like cracked.com or if it's shuttering completely. Doesn't cracked get credit/blame for the proliferation of listicles on the web.

If you were 12 years old sometime between 1960 and 1985 and didn’t enjoy Mad.....I dunno even know what to say.
