“What? You Say I'm Not Covered?”

MAD #55 from June 1960 delivers one of the magazine's most charmingly soggy covers, with Kelly Freas painting Alfred E. Neuman grinning cheerfully from the "Fair" side of an elaborate carved-wood weather-house as rain absolutely pelts everything around him — the dripping MAD logo overhead makes the theme impossible to miss. The promise of Sid Caesar inside only sweetens the deal for fans of early-'60s satire at its sharpest. Twenty-five cents well spent, cheap and all.
