Mad #119 (Albert Feldstein) - Balmy and Clod Issue - June 1968

"They're young.  They're in love.  They rob banks."  One of the most popular movies of 1967 was Bonnie and Clyde, a "true story" about a gang of murderous bank robbers.  The movie was beautifully filmed and the audience was led to identify with the gang.  Leave it to Mad to expose the hypocrisy of it all.  The Larry Siegel/Mort Drucker article and the Norman Mingo cover drawing are wonderful.  [JAM 10/13/2009]
