I am profoundly sad to hear that after 67 years, MAD Magazine is ceasing publication. I can’t begin to describe the impact it had on me as a young kid – it’s pretty much the reason I turned out weird. Goodbye to one of the all-time greatest American institutions. #ThanksMAD pic.twitter.com/01Ya4htdSR

This was the first @MADmagazine I ever purchased. I was 7. The Fonz (@hwinkler4real) was the coolest guy in the world so this cover was revelatory in its subversiveness. And inside, the satire of All the President’s Men opened my mind to a world of satire I didn’t know of. pic.twitter.com/onFYESJQTl

MAD Magazine is closing. Like millions of others, MAD Magazine showed me what humor is for and thus gave me my life’s direction. I used my allowance of $1.50 to buy each issue, which in 1987 cost $1.35 [(cheap!) it said next to the price].

I think they realized that the actual news on TV and in newspapers is even more ridiculous than the comedy they produce. https://t.co/qPXXKWNEhp

6.4 earthquake hits Southern California. God punishes us for the cancellation of Mad magazine.

Hard to imagine a world without @MADmagazine- My older brother's collection helped me learn to read. It taught a generation how to question & mock the status-quo. An honor & a career highlight to be ridiculed mercilessly by that "usual gang of idiots" ❤️You Madly, Lube Skystalker pic.twitter.com/GvKpQszL7A

Lot of love for #MADMagazine today. Let us also celebrate the late, great Harvey Kurtzman, without whom...

There’s been an outpour of kindness surrounding the rumor that @MADmagazine is ceasing publication, but MAD is not quite done. After the next TWO great new issues are released, MAD will begin publishing bi-monthly issues with vintage pieces and new covers.

I was an intern at MAD Magazine in 1994. I had no apt in NY so I kept my belongings in the archives & took a daypack & crashed on couches for 3 months.
In the writers room they had a drum kit to do rim shots on bad jokes. Great memories. I’ll miss it https://t.co/xGjrTeefXI

To anyone saying MAD Magazine *used* to be relevant....remember this, from just last fall?https://t.co/OUgTFY6zMc

When I was a kid in the 70’s, my mom let me buy an issue of @MADmagazine. Changed my world and made me want to be a cartoonist. Thank you for 67 years.

Goodbye, Mad Magazine. Thanks for inspiring generations & generations of comedy & most of all, thanks for the laughs. There was a moment in so many of our childhoods where you were the greatest thing ever.#thanksMAD pic.twitter.com/ZJS8HxxqtF

Anything that makes @alyankovic sad should be illegal. And specifically: canceling @MADmagazine is dumb. https://t.co/TJMJ7Dgukh
