Publisher's Notes
Alfred E. Neuman as a flower child? Ecch! Here is a hilarious look back at the Sixties from America's foremost satire magazine. Illustrated throughout in color and black and white, this MADcap compendium showcases the best send-ups, takeoffs, and put-ons from the era that gave us Tiny Tim and Timothy Leary. You'll be transported back to the days of psychedelia and Beatlemania as "the usual gang of idiots" - the editors and contributors of MAD Magazine - present classic features from their past. So drop in and drop out with Alfred E. and company as the MADness begins.
