I have always credited myself with being a fair and pretty broad- minded mother in having to raise a son in today's ‘world, realizing only too well what my son has to face in the outside world, but if I thought all he had offered to him was the likes of what you people had to offer in reading matter, I'd gladly do away with him and myself. A contribution today in the way of MAD azine places you top on the list and first in line for a medal in contributing to this country’s important problem of juvenile delinquency. I should like to be the one to present it to you in what I grant would be a strictly original form. I also grant you } wouldn't be alone in that desire. You are fortunate in living in such @ country in complete ease in continuing your putting out to the youth your imbecilic, moronic, rot. —Mrs. Harriette K. Vandenbaum—New Haven, Conn. ;.. Your publication is slowly going to H——1. I first became aware of this in issue #10. I was reading “The Face Upon The Floor” when I saw in the last panel a rather sorry exhibition . . . that being the scrawl of a rather crude laborer in the arts, namely Basil Wolverton. I dismissed the thoughts that came to my head and finished the magazine. But alas, on the cover of issue #11, another one of the products of his perverted mind leered at me from the cover. I unbelievingly thumbed through the magazine and saw more of “them.” Kindly remove this oblong Basil from the scene.—David Reifl—Kew Gardens, New York We don't like your 4 pages (Wolverton) so we're sending them back—Doug Yonnich & Joe Kowall~Mattydale, New York Never in my wildest dreams did I ever ¢ be writing fan letter to a comic book editor. For ‘months now, my son has done-so much talking about MAD and insisted on me reading it. I thought it was just another stupid comic and absolutely refused to Took at it until I happened to glance at the cover. 1 figured that anyone going through the trouble of do- ing such good work on the cover deserves a chance So I sat down and read. Now I am just as much a fan as my son is. I am not including my name because I ‘would be run out of town if my friends and neighbors ever got wind of the fact that I was reading a comic book.—Mrs. E. K Brooklyn, New York - -. The crazy mixed up pictures in your MAD #11 completely threw us. All the time, people were telling us we were good looking, but you have saved us from a disastrous conceit. Thank you.—Corslund, Chandler, Rush, Fitz, Sturdivian and Harris~Chanute, Kan. « - . The other morning when I went to school, all my friends (and teachers) were cross-toed and pigeon- eyed. Then I knew MAD was on the loose. I almost bit my tongue off when I saw MAD and I was in a straight-jacker for six days.—Robert Chichester—Mari- etta, Ohio Please quote idress, and phone number of that cute “chick” on the cover of MAD #11.—Keith Nutt—(no address given) .. L have finished your last copy -( #11). Haven't you done Dragged Net before? Incidentally, if you're interested, the Einstein equation for energy is E=mc?. I believe Friday asked the kindly old lady that as a routine question—Roy Pender—Dallas, Tex. ‘We are studying to be sabre-toothed furshlug- giners. Your magazine has been more than helpful to us. Every day, before reading MAD, we used to eat three fur-bearing perriwinkles. Now we just eat the fur. Oh happy day that MAD came our way.—Hal Jackson & Dave Kranes—Belmont, Mass - + [hope you receive this letter before 1954. I am on an island (4’ to 6 round) in the Pacific Ocean somewhere, with three beautiful girls, and was bored to death. There was nothing to do on this little plot of ground until yesterday when I noticed a bottle floating up to me. There was a magazine of some sort inside.
