ZitatMAD Magazine will cease publication later this year, according to reports. Blogger Jedidiah Leland reportedly discovered the news after a MAD editor confessed to the magazine's doom in a Facebook group, and shortly thereafter, cartoonist Ruben Bolling seemed to confirm the report on Twitter. Of course, Bolling is not a MAD cartoonist (although he did have work published in it in 2005), so he may have been simply responding to the growing volume of responses to the Leland report.
Per the report, "I just heard from a friend of mine who is in a Facebook group with MAD writer Stan Stinberg that, after the next two issues, MAD will no longer be publishing original material. Instead, it’ll publish reprinted material until it’s subscription responsibilities are fulfilled and then the magazine will cease publication."

On another note I wonder if MAD's demise is the result of the left move from using humor as a subtle form of brain washing to becoming humorless screaming harridans

The Left has indeed forgotten how to be funny. The invasion of snark has rendered the Left impotent. Donald Trump may not be their cup of tea but he is hardly "brainless". Is calling him brainless really that funny?
"MAD ABOUT TRUMP: A BRILLIANT LOOK AT OUR BRAINLESS PRESIDENT is an all-out comedy assault on the most idiotic idiot to ever reach the White House (George W. Bush and visitors included)! In these 128 pages, President Trump is mercilessly mocked, relentlessly ridiculed and savagely satirized." https://play.google.com/store/books/deta...wE&gclsrc=aw.ds
RIP MAD Magazine. You had a good run and then you ran into Donald Trump. Many many others have run into this same Donald Trump. The tables were turned on justice and it's no longer funny.
