For Mad's 50th Anniversary Icon Books reprinted the run of paperbacks that are the only way to find a lot of the original Mad Magazine material. As I said much of the humor is the same. The culture being spoofed is vastly differnet, and put in that perspective, I can see how this passed for edgy in the 1950's.
This is a quick read, and worth it too. Harvey Kurtzman was a genius, and as the original writer for Mad it had a sinister grin the has turned into a slack jaw over time. Comedy historians should really take interest becuase this is the birth of modern American satire.
