Mad #464

Mad's April 2006 issue takes gleeful aim at fast-food culture, with a regal Burger King mascot — crown, fur-trimmed robes, gold chain, and all — presenting a towering burger on a silver platter while a gap-toothed, crown-wearing Alfred E. Neuman cheerfully holds up a "Barf Bag" on his own tray. The cover tagline "…Have It Our Way!" says everything you need to know about the magazine's satirical agenda. Rounding out this packed issue are send-ups of King Kong, the perennial Spy vs. Spy, "35 Reasons Why School Sucks," and a bonus pull-out poster — plenty of irreverent fun for $3.99.
