The TRUTH about MAD: 1. It is STILL being published. 2. It is now featuring at least 14 ALL-NEW pages every issue. 3. It is STILL $5.99 an issue, the same price it has been since 2009. 4. It IS available through subscription and maybe comic book stores. (The Diamond bankruptcy may affect this.)

Jules Feiffer, cartoonist of acerbic wit and satire, dies at 95
He found his voice in comics that provided a sardonic and sarcastic takedown of authority and conventional wisdom. He was also a playwright and screenwriter.
