[78-L] Off the subject

[David Lennick]

Okay, correction..MAD STRIKES BACK was the first paperback I saw. Inside Mad 
followed (it was #3). And I see even those are being reprinted..apart from the 
Bob and Ray and Stan Freberg contributions, I can't see why anyone would want 
replicas of those things, with their chopped up graphics and borderline 
unreadable type.
