There’s nothing Mad about Oz views

IF you want to know about the lasting legacy of Mad magazine, the comic brand that’s laughing all the way to its 60th year, just look on the internet.

The subversive, but very undergraduate humour of the American comic made it a must-read in 1970s Ireland where copies were passed from hand to hand and brought in specially from the UK.

And it’s still going strong, but will probably never again reach the three million circulation of its heyday under the renowned Bill Gaines.
