Rick’s Take On The Zombie Edition Of Mad Magazine
About a few years ago I received my daily Mad Magazine in the mail in October, since it was Halloween time they did a all zombie issue. I really enjoyed it and just when you thought you couldn’t parody zombie any more then what most movies have done then you haven’t seen this magazine. This magazine has several one panel comics in the beginning of the magazine including this hilarious zombie nutritional guide, since all zombies need to eat healthy brains.Â
See kids, even zombies have to eat their veggies… of course, brains are essential to their diet. Pardon the fact that the image is bad quality, I was unable to scan the magazine properly.
Aside from numerous comic strips in the middle of the magazine, Mad takes a mad look at zombies in this section. There ares some pretty funny skits that I can’t even begin to describe… but I laughed all the way through.Â
Caldwell also takes a look at some of the pet peeves that zombies have which is probably the funniest part of the whole magazine. Just to give you an idea, here are two things that zombies hate:
- Flip-flopping government studies saying one day that eating brains lowers cholesterol, then the next day, declaring just the opposite
- When, just before a big date, his face breaks out in nightcrawlers.Â
Among the numerous magazines that Mad dishes out, this is one of my favorites and I continue to to love and respect their humor… this magazine edition just seals the deal.
