MAD Magazine Fold-in from -1964 - to the future - a must see.

[Ichingcarpenter]

This is really amazing on-line art. I bought many of these issues back then, so
the artwork really brought back memories. You had to fold the page to get the message.
You do the same thing but just put your mouse on the right of the artwork for it to fold
Many of these handle Nixon, Reagan and Political Topics such as the War in Vietnam.
There is also a Pop Culture fold, Sports section fold.

The link I gave you shows one my favorites, it was about the Vietnam war but may just as
well cover the war we have now. I had that issue. Be sure to read everything on the page
before you fold it.

1. Sick humor from the usual gang of idiots

my grandmother used to say it makes your mind soft.

Your grandmother was ignorant.

24. A-yup.

They'd always advertise that same poster of Alfred E. Newman which was, as they put it, "suitable for framing or wrapping fish."

7. I loved his "snappy answers to stupid questions"

Q: (from a waiter, to a husband and wife) Table for how many?
A: A hundred and twelve -- we like to change seats every few minutes.
A: One -- my wife will sit on my shoulders.
A: I don't know -- I can't count that high, either.

11. A couple of years ago I started a "Snappy Answers" thread here.

Maybe if you dig through the archives from 2005 or 2006 you could find it...

18. The flash is pretty cool that enables one to fold

the page just like the old days except its more accurate.

[annabanana]

19. We need someone to invent an "Impeach" fold-in that we can

get past the censors and fold up on The Today Show, or one of those other sidewalk venues...

23. The Spiro Agnew one. Wow.

A lot of people here are too young to remember, but Spiro Agnew was much worse than Cheney is.
