Mad #39 (Albert Feldstein) - Cowznofski Issue - May 1958

Besides Alfred E. Neuman, no name had been featured in Mad as often as Melvin Cowznofski (with various spellings). Reference to Mel and his extended family peaked in issue No. 39 when a page from the Mad telephone book was reprinted.  The page listed 147 "Cowznofskis" and one "Cowznofsky." [PSA2]

The Assistant Executive button on the shoe-shine boy has a small "N" after the "AE." ("Sneaky Advertisements" - page 38)
