Broderbund software recently came out with the "Totally Mad" collection,
a 7 CD compilation of all of the Mad magazines ranging from 1952 to 1998. A
few searches came up with a wealth of TG comics over the years. Not all of them
are particularly flattering, but a few of these are classic.

I don't know about you, but I'd be on the next Greyhound to Miami if
I thought I'd find this waiting for me.
