Mad #167 (Albert Feldstein) - Busing Issue - June 1974

Arnie Kogen's article, "Bussing [sic] in Other Areas" is somewhat politically-incorrect and really silly.  Who would ever think that the policy of busing school children for racial integration would someday lead to "bussing [sic] the staff of an underground newspaper to a Pat Boone Christmas party?"  In this three-page article, Kogen and artist George Woodbridge manage to stereotype and offend fat people, ugly people, Let's Make a Deal, the Salvation Army, hard-hat construction workers, marine drill sergeants, Fire Island residents, bowlers in Muncie, Indiana, Fred Waring (1900-1984), the Sierra Club, McDonalds and Publisher William M. Gaines (at McDonalds), as well as Mr. Boone.  In other words, this is the perfect Mad article. [JAM 5/20/2010]
