MAD

 

MAD magazine and I were born the same year, 1952. As a children’s magazine, MAD instilled in us a healthy disrespect for authority, laying the philosophical groundwork for the hippie revolution which was based on opposition to militarism, racism, and sexism.

MAD’s editor Al Feldstein, along with American poet laureate Robert Frost, deserves credit for inspiring the Woodstock generation to heed John F. Kennedy’s admonition to “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

Ps--A little known fact is that Robert Frost and Jay Ward, creator of Rocky & Bullwinkle, were both born in San Francisco, home to the Summer of Love in 1967.
