What, Me Worry? MAD Magazine Going Quarterly

Posted by timothy on from the needs-more-website dept.

theodp writes "MAD Magazine is about to put out its 500th issue, but starting with its April publication, the mag is cutting down to only four issues per year. The feedback we've gotten from readers,' quipped Editor John Ficarra, 'is that only every third issue of MAD is funny, so we've decided to just publish those.' MAD Kids and MAD Classics are ceasing publication entirely. Keep up the what-me-worry game face, Alfred!"

    The last time I read a hardcopy of a magazine I was really upset Ctrl+F and AdBlock weren't working and I couldn't click the links.
