Mad House Ma-ad Jokes #68

Mad House Ma-ad Jokes #68 captures the freewheeling spirit of 1969 perfectly — on the cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo, the Mad House Ma-ads are making a hasty escape down a city street, instruments in hand, while an enthusiastic mob of fans gives chase close behind. The band members — Dick Didit, Dan Didit, Dippy Didit, Clyde Didit, and Fran the Fan — are all identified on a poster nearby, and one of them quips about giving their "souvenir-hungry fans the slip." It's a cheerful, energetic snapshot of Beatlemania-style mayhem done up in Archie's signature bright, breezy style.
