26 daysI thought I recognized this. I must have had an issue it was printed in.

It is still in publication. The last time I looked at one was 2019 sometime, did not really read it though.

You’re right, I’ve misinterpreted this move.
Cheers for correcting me. I should check out the “new” issues.

Oh wow. This response just triggered my inner ai detector.
Is this genuinely just going to happen everytime anyone honestly apologizes?
- aldhissla@piefed.worldEnglish26 days
Not to take away from your point, but I didn’t exactly apologise. I thanked them for helping me with my misunderstanding.
If I’d apologise to anyone, it would be to myself for missing out on MAD.
Fuck that’s dark
Also I love how I could hear the PAF sound in my head. I wonder how old that word is

Don Martin is a legend.
Martin’s immediately recognizable drawing style (which featured bulbous noses and hinged feet) was loose, rounded, and filled with broad slapstick. His inspirations, plots, and themes were often bizarre and at times bordered on the berserk. In his earliest years with Mad, Martin used a more jagged, scratchy line. His style evolved, settling into its familiar form by 1964. It was typified by a sameness in the appearance of the characters (the punchline to a strip often was emphasized by a deadpan take with eyes half open and the mouth absent or in a tight, small circle of steadfast perplexity) and by an endless capacity for newly coined, onomatopoetic sound effects, such as “BREEDEET BREEDEET” for a croaking frog, “PLORTCH” for a knight being stabbed by a sword, or “FAGROON klubble klubble” for a collapsing building.[9] (Martin’s dedication to onomatopoeia was such that he owned a vanity license plate which read “SHTOINK,” patterned after the style of his famed sound effects.)
