I grew up with "Mad" magazine---but I had schoolmates who were forbidden from exposure to "Mad," as their parents viewed it as a bad influence. To this day, many years later, I still feel sorry for those kids who lived "Mad"-free lives---they were deprived of a great deal of humor and societal awareness.
