Man, I haven't had a MAD subscription in ages. I didn't realize they were still in print. Lol
-
I don't think this is real. If you search up the issue number you'll see the real version. It's also from 1974.

Iāve got no idea anymore.

What is this from? Did you print this? Why would you leave the og price and date tho? And no context? Cāmon now this is an interesting story. But also, not something actually made by MAD Magazineā¦ unless you work there? For those who donāt know what this is referencing:

And as far as I can tell OPs image is not an actual MAD cover.

MAID magazine

LLMs don't make pictures
-
I guess? But, how do you think the text part of text-to-image creation works?

AI is more like 1 middle finger + a partial middle finger, cuz its that sloppy

I didn't have much respect for MAD magazine to start with, always seemed to be generic boomer humour from what I've seen.
-
At one point that generic boomer humor was new and cutting edge. It's an old magazine with their heyday in the 70's
-
I don't like to call it boomer humor. That shit was funny in the 90s. For better or worse, it wasn't the jokes that changed, it was our reaction to it.
Thinking specifically of things like "Miss Swan", "The ambiguously gay duo", and "Pat". Although I think only one of those was MAD. Still, we (as in the cisfolk, at least) thought it was funny enough at the time for it to keep getting aired.
It's boomer humor now because our sense of humor matured and adapted...and theirs didn't.
