WINNERS Who live in the U.S.only, get issue #600, the August 2026 MAD issue! (Yes, the cover says JUNE at the top, but August 2026 at the bottom.) But that matter. It’s a landmark edition, #600!! And it turns out, I have something in 515 of those 600 issues, includidng lots of reprinted fan favorites.
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.)
