MAD MAG MELTDOWN! (History of MAD) - Dandy Fun House episode 18

In this episode of the Dandy Fun House, we're going to melt down the history of MAD Magazine! How it all started, the back stories of some of their most iconic contributors, battles with J Edgar Hoover, corporate takeovers and how a lawsuit against MAD Magazine filed by Irving Berlin set in place the legal protections for parody and satire that we take for granted today!

Some of what we're going to talk about might make you crazy. Some of it will probably make you MAD! So without further adieu, let's step into the Fun House!
