Mad #91 (Albert Feldstein) - Last Issue - December 1964
What other magazine would print "Last Issue" on its front cover with giant pink letters on a black background? That's right - no other.
Al Jaffee presented an early attack on cigarettes ("Some Mad Devices for Safer Smoking") at a time when a high percentage of American adults were habitual smokers. Cigarettes were still "cool". Every television and movie actor smoked. The Marlboro Man was a national hero. Leave it to Mad's Jaffee to be one of the first to illustrate the obvious: Smoking is bad for you! The best parts of this article were the brand names: Cough, Hack, Wheeze and Phlegm. [MADlog #13]
