The End of Mad Magazine (Almost)

I used to love Mad Magazine when I was a kid.
MAD Magazine to Effectively Shutter After 67 Years

The beloved satire publication will no longer be sold on newsstands after the August issue, and future editions will no longer feature new content and instead shift to previously published material — with new covers.

I am finding it irresistible to post a few 'colourful' magazine covers, please forgive if I post one someone finds offensive, there are so many good ones though...lol

Alfred E. Neuman - Wikipedia

Alfred E. Neuman is the fictitious mascot and cover boy of the American humor magazine Mad. The character's face had drifted through U.S. iconography for decades, and appeared in the early 1930s on a presidential campaign postcard with the caption, "Sure I'm for Roosevelt". Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman claimed the image in 1954, and it was named "Alfred E. Neuman" by the magazine's second editor, Al Feldstein, in 1956.

Since his debut in Mad, Neuman's likeness has appeared on the cover of all but a handful of the magazine's 550+ issues. Rarely seen in profile, Neuman has almost always been portrayed in front view, silhouette, or directly from behind. He is distinguished by short, tousled red hair, an invariable grin with a missing front tooth, freckles across the bridge of his nose, protruding ears, and a left eye, eyebrow, and ear set lower than their right-hand counterparts.
