Burning Mad #25

Alfred E. Neuman grins his gap-toothed grin on Norman Mingo's cover, wearing a firefighter's helmet and holding both a marshmallow-roasting fork and a bag of "Bonfire Marshmallows" — all while flames dance cheerfully behind him. The joke writes itself, and it's delivered with that perfectly innocent mischief that made Alfred E. Neuman an enduring figure of American humor. This 1975 Warner Books digest collects work by Don Martin, the master of slapstick sound effects, making it a satisfying package of MAD's signature absurdist wit.
