This is a vintage single issue of Mad Magazine, number 167, published in June 1974. The humorous cover features Alfred E. Neuman's face in a "In Case of Worry Break Open This Issue" box, suggesting a dose of laughter for troubling times. This particular issue is notable for its timely political satire, with the back cover prominently displaying a sign that reads "Nixon Slipped Here" in front of the White House, reflecting the political climate of the mid-70s. Inside, the table of contents promises a variety of classic Mad humor, including articles and parodies such as "My Fair Ladle" (likely a spoof of "My Fair Lady"), "MAD's Karate Movie Producer Of The Year," "The MAD Game Of Basebrawl," "A MAD Look At The Gas Shortage," and "Bussing Into Other Schools." Other departments include "Berg's-Eye View Department," "Bucket Brigade Department," "Cops At Bay Department," "Diamonds Are For Roush Department," "Don Martin Department," "Grin and Bearer Department," "Hack Film Maker Department," "Letters Department," "Male Chauvinist Pig-Malign Department," "Marginal Thinking Department," "Petroleum Jelly Department," "SIC Transit Department," "The Other Side of The Con Department," and "Withdrawn and Quartered Department." This issue offers a fantastic time capsule of 1970s humor and political commentary, making it a compelling item for collectors of vintage Mad Magazine and those interested in the era.
