Mad #554 (Bill Morrison) - Special Haunted Humor Issue - December 2018

This is a horrible issue.  But, I suppose that is the point.  The publication of the issue for magazine racks in October is timed to appeal to Halloween buyers.  Not being a fan of horror humor, 56 pages of gory jokes are just too much for me.  I actually found myself looking for Trump jokes in the issue.  The best one is in "Sad New Ways to Feel Good About Yourself" by Teresa Burns Parkhurst: "I did NOT vote for a narcissistic Lunatic to be President of the United States of America!!"  Although, that is a real thing for me and 65,844,609 others.  In my mind, this is a step backwards for Bill Morrison and company after three excellent West Coast issues.  However, I am just one reader.  Good luck with those newsstand sales!  [JAM 10/4/2018]
