Sad, bad... Mad Magazine is effectively shutting down.
They're stopping publication of most new material and going off of the news-stands and magazine racks; some limited publication will continue through comic books.
Potrzebie.

No, more like Muggeridge's Law
When Malcolm Muggeridge was the editor of the British satirical magazine Punch in the early 1960s, Khrushchev had announced he was going to tour England alongside its prime minister. Muggeridge wrote up a list of the silliest tour stops he could think of, and then put the article to bed, ready for publication. When the actual tour list was drawn up, he had to massively rewrite the article. At least half the tour stops in his satirical piece were actually on Khrushchev and the British PM's agenda!

This may sound ridiculous, but i think MAD's downfall is that it's humour was too subtle for the current zeitgeist.
Proof Positive the world is not flat: If it were, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

No, that's the Onion's reason for wanting to hang it up after the 2016 elections.
