WINNERS (Who live in the U.S.) get the June 2021 issue of MAD. (Wow, I have 13 pages of material in that issue.) Even though MAD moved to LA in December 2017 I’m continuing the WTHII game and sending out MAD magazines to winners since so many people say they love to play it. I pay the postage so winners of MAD magazine are for US addresses only. 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’d rather have one of those 38+ year old Alfred E. Neuman pictures, instead of February MAD, put “SEND ALFRED PIC NOT MAD” in the subject line. Soon, they will be no more of those either. The remaining Alfred E pics were shipped to MAD in LA. If you won more than once using different names, please just ask for one MAD. 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 it 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.)
