Mad #434

Alfred E. Neuman gleefully fans out a deck of playing cards — each one bearing a caricatured face — as the cards scatter dramatically across a bold red background in this October 2003 issue, with cover art by Mark Fredrickson. The premise is pure Mad: a full "Deck of 52 Least Wanted Americans," and one visible card even spotlights a caricature labeled Christina Aguilera. Inside, writer P. C. Vey and artist James Warhola deliver the full rogue's gallery, alongside parodies of 8 Simple Rules, hardcore video gamers, and MTV.
