This eddition of MAID magazine hits different.
April of '74? Did they predict the future or is the issue date just another gag? I know they recently started printing the magazine again, so I truly am not sure if this is a new one or an old one…
'shopped art and cover text. the original cover art was the finger, though… just not fingers
Yes was going to say it would have had to have been designed by generative AI to have five fingers and a thumb. LOL
Pasting my comment from the other post of this addressing OP:
What is this from? Did you print this? Why would you leave the og price and date tho? And no context? C’mon now this is an interesting story. But also, not something actually made by MAD Magazine… unless you work there? For those who don’t know what this is referencing:

And as far as I can tell OPs image is not an actual MAD cover.
Ok wait what the fuck is the background to this photo? A circular box fan, the midsection of a child, and an N64 controller?
I think that’s a Chucky doll?
Ooh good eye
TIL the MAD magazine is still around
You need to be more critical of the media you consume.
Huh?
This is not real.
But MAD magazine is indeed still around and they are making the next one about AI. Cover seems to be different though
Tiny eye would only turn up the og cover, did you find any copies or links to this anywhere else? I would def believe this was an alt cover posted somewhere by a staffer/artist but I couldn’t find anything that had this image referenced.
I didn’t find where this came from
Yup! And reprinting editions that are 50 years old!
Not to be a party pooper but I’m pretty sure this isn’t a real mad cover, unless op works at mad this looks like a fan creation.
Oh crap, I forgot to write “/s”
But they actually are reprinting stuff with new covers
ah beans, my bad
ah beans
A fart, a fart
It’s good for the heart
It sets the body at easeIt’ll warm up the sheets
You can set it alight
And it fumigates all of the fleas
It sounds like the magazine is on terminal care
That’s looks more like they want to
