September 21st, 2020 | Posted in MAD Magazine

I received my comp copies of MAD #16 in the mail the other day. The issue should start showing up in subscriber’s mailboxes in the next week or two, and will be in comic book stores in early October. I won’t do my “contents” post until the issue is officially released, but I can share that this issue has some new material in it, including a new Spy vs. Spy by Peter Kuper, a two page Tom Bunk masterpiece, a two pager by Sergio Aragonés and a fold-in by Johnny Sampson.

I will not reschedule that workshop until I am sure the new dates will be viable.
