WHen I was younger, MAD was my kinda magazine. I still sing the Mad words to various songs when they come up - e.g. the Egg Fu Young words to "Oh what a beautiful morning". Or the suggestions for spiffy new national anthems - "Daisy dotes and Dozy dotes and little Abu Dhabi". Spy vs Spy had me in stitches. The little guys running round the edges of the page. Their take on "The Sound of Music". It was several laughs a page.

Yet today it seems to lack something. I don't think the artists are of the same calibre, and it's been "cleaned up" to some extent.

What are your views - if you're interested.
