Here’s The New May/June 2026 “What The Heck Is It?” Game.
Do you know what it is?
To play, come up with the right answer, or for better odds of winning, make up a silly, or inventive answer that we find funny or clever that describes the gizmo shown. We give away up to 18 autographed copies of MAD Magazine. (Up to 6 for the correct answer, up to 12 for cute, silly answers.)
You’ll be playing for the August 2026 issue of MAD, produced by the tiny (it’s down to two people!) LA MAD staff. Remember cute or clever wrong answers have a better chance of winning! Please be sure to put ” WTHII” in the subject line of your email so we can pick it out quickly. The judges have very small attention spans, so make sure entries are no more than 25 words, and please, just one guess per entry. You must sign your entry with a nickname, screen name, fake name, or even real name, but sign it! If it’s not signed, it’s not eligible. Email your entry to gizwizbiz@gmail.com by midnight (EDT) April 30, 2026. By entering you agree this is a game for fun and laughs.
Winning answers are published on this website the 1st or 2nd of July 2026, so come back to see if you won. Because like MAD, we’re really low budget here, we can only mail winning copies to the United States. Please don’t answer on this website; it won’t count. Good Luck! Winners outside the US can have a now 40 year old Alfred E. Neuman photo autographed to them, scanned and emailed to them.
Again, sign your entry with something, or it won’t count.

Winners With The Correct Answer For the March/April 2026 WTHII? Game.
The gadget is the “See Eye to Eye” Device that goes over your webcam and uses a mirror so you appear to be looking directly at the person you’re talking to, instead of looking up a bit where you webcam most likely is located.
It was sold on Amazon and at BH Photo, but now comes up ‘no longer available’. 
The device was formally introduced on January 15, 2007, and showcased at the Macworld Expo that same week

WINNERS Who live in the U.S.only get the April 2026 MAD issue! MAD moved to LA in December 2017 but I’m continuing the WTHII game and sending out MAD magazines to winners since so many people say they love to play it. Winners of MAD magazine are for US addresses only. Postage to Canada is way too high! If you win and live in the US, email me your full name & address and put MAD WINNER in the subject so I can pick it out easily. I’ll autograph your MAD with your first name & my name unless you specify “Dick’s name only”. If you won this game more than once using different names, please just ask for one MAD magazine. If you live anywhere outside of the US email me with WINNER in the subject line and I’ll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email a high res image to you. You can print it out & no one should know the difference. (I’ve done it quite a few times already and people say the photo looks great.)
NOTE: For this game only, if you won and want the new B&N $9.99 96 page MAD Special “Hodgepodge of Humor Volume Four” (instead of the June MAD), reply with ‘WINNER- BN Special‘ and I’ll send that instead. (Until the supplies run out, that is.)
