Mad #305 (Nick Meglin and John Ficarra) - Maxine Korn Issue - September 1991

Well, this Max-Korn thing is really going now.  Drucker put a barrel of "Max Kornmeal" on the porch for "Dunces with Wolves."  Torres put a covered bowl of "Max Korn" on the breakfast table for "Father Jowly Miseries."  Berg put "Mr. Korn" in the delivery room and young "Maxwell" teaching his mother and grandmother a foreign language.  Woodbridge put a "Max Korn for Congress" pin on the smiling candidate on the campaign trail.  Tulka thought Max's little sister "Maxine Korn" was a good subject for a funny home video.  And, Viviano put "Max Korn" in a small place that is really hard to find in "The Violence of the Hams." 

Excellent articles in the issue were "America's Traditional Songs as They Sound to Five Year Olds" by Tom Koch, "How and Where Sneaky Smokers Can Hide Their Filthy Habit" by Paul Peter Porges and, "Simpson Rip-Offs" by Frank Jacobs.  Sam Viviano's drawings of the Simpson parodies were exceptional.
