Mad Magazine is dead and the reasons are obvious, explained...however the Mad Magazine of Medford Politics is Alive and Well!
The bible of juvenile humor will leave newsstands and go into reprints later this year

As you have now heard, Mad magazine is no more.
“Effectively no more” is how everyone’s putting it, as apparently, DC
Comics (its longtime owner) will put out some anthologies and retread
editions to keep the trademarks current. But as any kind of periodical
satire, the magazine is over; Alfred E. Neuman is now a Force ghost
smiling beatifically next to Saturday morning cartoons and baseball
cards in the “effectively no more” pantheon of childhood treasures.
The news leaked late Wednesday, slid under the door
before a holiday in true weasel fashion (I half-imagined it was
accompanied with “Editor’s note: Choke on it!”). Polygon has confirmed
that anything Mad publishes after issue No. 11 — it was renumbered a
year ago — will be rerun content.
