Tilt (C. Vern Dinges III) - Michigan State Spartan - January 27, 1953
https://madcoversite.com/modern_magazine_parodies.html
This is a fairly ordinary college parody of Time magazine. There are few drawings as obscure photos are generally used with fake articles written with a 1950s sense of humor. The best items were the two-page "Pipley's Believe It, You Slob!" parody and Mona Lisa smoking a cigarette on page 31. It was also interesting to see an early photo of Ernie Kovacs (as Percy Dovetonsils) who was identified as "Mario Paparella" - "a retired Sicilian dope peddler ... having an obscene international affair with the obese but naive Gretchen Schlutheimer of Austria ..." I give credit to the editorial staff of Spartan for making this look like a national magazine. [JAM 7/31/2020]
