I heard Don Martin speak at UCLA years ago and when he said that I thought he was nuts. To me it isn't college humor, maybe cause I had been reading it since I was 5 or so.

LSP smokin' a dooby is not something they need to see :( BTW - I grew up on MAD magazine, started collecting them in the early 80s and collected tons of old back issues from the 60s and 70s,and the paperbacks and have been a huge fan for life. All my MADs are in order, in protective sleeves, in binders...a typical neurotic collection lol When I was going to share them with the kids I read back and was surprised by how racist, sexist and full of drug culture/drug references they were. I don't know that the kids would even get the humor since they didn't grow up exposed to all that stuff. So, the magazine collection is not for them but they've got awesome shows like Adventuretime, Regular Show and MAD and that's mathematical!
