Before Monty Python or The Kids in the Hall, MAD, Cracked, and Wacky Packages were foundational to my sense of humor and worldview. Thanks for the memories.
I was so very upset after I spilled dinner spaghetti sauce all over a "Quincy" TV show spoof in a Mad mag when I was just a lad. The page was all greasy... and unreadable. Yuck! So very upset.
I put it aside for a week...came back and the stain was magically gone and the Mad hijinks ensued...
What a beautifully written and moving story! I felt like I was right there with you. Thanks for sharing!
What a nice comment — thank you, Joan!

Oh how I loved those Wacky Packages! A parody master class in every package.
