Americans for years have loved to hate, MAD magazine. It's hard to imagine that its long running career started out priced at 10 cents an issue. It has gone from being "a short lived satirical pulp" as stated by, time Books, to one of the things that Americans should be specifically proud of inspiring. In "Good Days and MAD," Nick DeBartolo, inventor of the MAD media satire, takes us with him on a not so typical tour, inside his mind, or just a day in the life if you work for MAD.

No business has, or ever will be run like, William M. Gaines, ran MAD magazine. The book is a testament to those off beat business tactics. "Good Days and MAD" is the blueprint for mayhem and a tummy tucking exercise festival, all in one. This book allows you to Poruze through MAD staff field trips to pranks pulled by and on that "usual gang of idiots." DeBartolos' book is full of those things that should have "don't try this at home" stapled underneath. With every turn of the page a new laugh lies waiting, planning its attack. With the many words, comes the narration of an adventure that, Nick DeBartolo, is lucky to experience every day.

Nick DeBartolo, as stated in the book, made a mistake in promising 14 people and several others, that they could write the Forward to the book. So throughout his book are forwards to the forward. Additional to this is two pages in the back that leave the reader (me) with space to write my own forward and to customize my very own copy of the book, with tools such as commas, dashes, and question marks.

This book is recommended and required reading for those Americans, who's days MADs' humor has enlightened, and for those who have used MAD to line Snookems' litter box.
