Mad #104 (Albert Feldstein) - Special June-Groom Issue - July 1966

We met Alfred E. Neuman's girl friend, Moxie in issues numbered 44 and 45.  For the first time, we now meet his father with a shotgun as drawn by Norman Mingo.

This issue also contains the excellent television parody of Lost in Space.  Writer Dick DeBartolo and artist Mort Drucker capture the essence of this improbable series with "Loused Up in Space".  The "Roobinsons" explore another fantastic planet with a breathable oxygen supply, are betrayed by the Professor and experience one more cliffhanger ending.  Drucker's wonderful drawings include David Janssen, Charlie Brown, Ringo Starr, an American Indian and a robot with angry eyes.  This parody has everything, including the kitchen sink.
