MAD Magazine No. 240 July 1983
MAD Magazine No. 240 July 1983 featuring a cover parody inspired by the Academy Award-nominated film Tootsie starring Dustin Hoffman. The cover art by Jack Rickard transforms Alfred E. Neuman into the film’s cross-dressing lead character while previewing additional satire on The Dark Crystal, television sitcoms such as Gimme a Break!, school proms, and other early-1980s pop culture subjects. Published during one of MAD magazine’s strongest creative periods under longtime editor Al Feldstein, the issue includes work from classic contributors including Don Martin and Dave Berg, whose humor and illustrations helped define the magazine’s signature satirical style. The issue remains collectible for its recognizable Hollywood parody cover and strong representation of 1980s entertainment culture. Shows signs of age wear.
