I didn't particularly care about the celebrity essays (though Penn Jillette had a good one) but the reprinting of these cartoons is worth the price. The book is oversized, which brings everything to about the size it was in the original magazines. There's also a giant fold-out in the middle with a poster of Alfred on one side and a scenario of the Mad offices by Sergio Aragones on the other. Unlike the recent Mad reprint books, this one dips more into the older Mad stuff of the 60's through the 90's (which I consider the best years for Mad). That means the book will actually be funny to adults rather than the way it currently caters to 12 year olds.It's a little pricey, but for a hardcover collection of some of the better spoofs and "articles" from Mad, it's a collector's dream. I wish it was about twice as thick, or that they'd come out with a volume 2 soon. This is the stuff they should be reprinting in the collections now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by on Reviewed in the United States January 19, 2014* I don't buy most of the MAD anthologies because there are far too many of them recycling old materials. But I bought this one for the fresh material of MAD's best contributors sharing their thoughts about MAD and picking their favorite work. Many of these artists and writers worked for Bill Gaines for several decades and had a huge quantity of material to choose from. Who would have guessed that Mort Drucker's favorite story, after 50 years, was Patton? And this book wisely reprints the full version of the choices, so we are able to appreciate what the artist or writer is describing. This was an excellent book, shedding behind the scenes insight into some of MAD's best. If you believe, like I do, that MAD was an important cultural phenomenon, you'll enjoy this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1582612-inside-mad-the-usual-gang-of-idiots-pick-their-favorite](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1582612-inside-mad-the-usual-gang-of-idiots-pick-their-favorite) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
