Mad Magazine is shutting down:
I just heard from a friend of mine who is in a Facebook group with a MAD writer 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.
An alternate report has it just becoming reprints of old material, which is pretty much the same thing.
This is what happens when publications get bought up by large media conglomerates.
