Mad #65 (Albert Feldstein) - Special Summer Travel Issue - September 1961
Pearl Belkin (Mrs. Gary?) became the first female contributor to Mad in this issue. They both received credit for A Realistic Children's Book. The Belkins wrote for Mad on a semi-regular basis in issues 46 through 79.
Jack Mendelsohn (Age 33-1/2) wrote for three issues (65, 66 and 75). He wrote about karate, household accidents and superstitions.
When I was 14, Berg's beach article was my favorite in this issue. It still is. Compared to the other issues in 1961, this was not one of the best. [MADlog #13]
