Mad Magazine shakes with new #1 and move!

Mad magazine unveiled a new look, logo, and other changes. But is it so, the logo harkens back to the original Mad comic book logo. It captures the original look with slight modifications.





Bill Morrison teased Sergio by showing an awkward look at his marginals. It was a just a joke and a tease. For example, Sergio's credits were chopped out on the slide and the main editors blamed it on "Kevin," an intern. That was a running gag with the intern and other mishaps.



Bill Morrison also introduced Bob Fingerman as a regular contributor to the monthly mag.

Sergio asked if they would still be known as the usual gang of Idiots...Morrison said yes, and I forget what the new group would be called.

One of the Mad folks made a song for Mad and performed on stage, with an acoustic guitar.



The new magazine will be numbered #1, and subscribers will continue to get the issues.




The layout will acknowledge the original comic book--here is a pic of Gaines with a Kurtzman pic.




The first issue will carry a Star Wars parody.



The MAD magazine group has also moved to the west coast.
