Mad #174 (Albert Feldstein) - Nixon Garage Sale Issue - April 1975

The Mad writers really hated to see Richard Nixon go but they finally acknowledged the existence of the Ford family in Lou Silverstone's "A White House Garage Sale" that included autographed books that sell for less than new copies, ten cases of ketchup and John Wayne's hat.  Other Mad writers were also cleaning out the Nixon jokes from their garages.  Don Reilly spins the "Modern Fairy Tale" about the President who refused to avoid the "Law of Taxation."  Arnie Kogen revealed his library of "extremely thin books" that included "Where Me And Nixon Disagree" by "Gerry Ford."  Silverstone also reminded everyone that he should not be blamed because "I voted for McGovern."  Frank Jacob's "Additions to the Dictionary" includes the word "nixon" that means either "a busted football play" or "an illness lasting six years." And, finally, Dick DeBartolo found room in "The Tommy-Red Seed" to remark that "San Clemente is already occupied" in response to a question about political asylum. [JAM 6/22/2010]

Look for Kojak and Serpico in "Death Wishers."
