Mad #79 (Albert Feldstein) - Special Mother's Day Issue - June 1963

This was a rather ordinary issue until page 43.  Wood and Siegel saved the best for the end with this excellent article.  Wally Wood was in rare form with Superman, Mighty Mouse and wagon kid appearing on the first panel.  I counted 18 non sequiturs in the five pages including Alfred E. Neuman (from the back), Arthur, axolotl, Mickey Bitsko, Frankenstein's monster and the first Mad word: frammis.  Yes, I was the president of the Wally Wood fan club.  The story ("The Price Is a Riot") was good too.

There were three simple but great spy stories from Prohias in this issue. 
Women: Marginal art (Aragones), pool girl (Martin), Sinnerama (Wood)
Men: Marginal football player (Aragones) [MADlog #13]
