[78-L] Off the subject

[David Lennick]

I looked at every comic book on the racks in the Fox-Taylor Pharmacy (McCaul 
north of Dundas) and never saw MAD in those days..distribution may not have 
included Toronto. I didn't see it until 1956 when it was a magazine, and I'd 
also seen "Inside Mad"..even the reprints were hard to find at that time. "The 
Mad Reader" took me a couple of years to locate. Rack jobbers didn't care about 
product that hadn't moved 3 years ago.
