Mad #544
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAlfred E. Neuman peers over a large sign he's holding that boldly declares "NO TRUMP IN THIS ISSUE!" — with the magazine's own rueful caveat, "Believe us — we really, really wish there was…" It's a perfectly self-aware MAD gag that turns the cover itself into the joke. Rounding out the issue are promised features on drones, Fantastic Beasts, and food trucks, making this 2017 entry a characteristically sharp slice of the magazine's irreverent humor.
