    Man, I haven’t had a MAD subscription in ages. I didn’t realize they were still in print. Lol

      I don’t think this is real. If you search up the issue number you’ll see the real version. It’s also from 1974.

          No, someone took an existing painting and modified it with copy/paste to show two middle fingers. Which is also ironic, given the message they’re trying to send.

          They’re republishing old editions with new covers. Dunno if this is one of those

        Yea I wondered that after I posted my comment but I wondered if it was a joke issue or something. A lot of the issues I had growing up had a front cover and a back one that would work if you flipped it the right way that was an alternative or a joke cover.

          Hmm the original doesn’t have that bit in the bottom right about the original concept. Is this a real MAD foldout based on an old cover but updated for the current hot topic?
