Trying to find an old Don Martin strip

Trying to find an old Don Martin strip set in the Wild West, where two Union calvary officers are standing in front of a Native American teepee and talking about how they are here to negotiate the release of their commanding officer, who was taken hostage by the Indians.

They talk about how their captain was a manly man and would never break under torture, and then are horrified when the captain steps out of the teepee and is a wild eyed, drooling, twitching mess.

The two calvary officers wonder what could have made him break like this, and then a busty Native American woman steps out of the teepee, stuffing herself back into her dress as she waves at the two shocked soldiers.

Anyone remember this one? Is it online at all?

Or was this one of the "lost" Cracked Magazine strips?

A ridiculous wishful thinking of MAD's 600th issue.

Just for fun, I want to predict what's going to be featured for the upcoming 600th issue of MAD Magazine. What new items do I want to see, and what reprints would they use for this special occasion? Keep in mind, this is all very wishful thinking and most likely not going to happen. And it's only my opinion.

50% of the new issue will feature new content, not just from the original gang of idiots, but also brand-new idiots. Here's what I think the new stuff would be:

• Sergio Aragones' Yet Another MAD look at MAD

• Original narrative humor stories (similar to the Potrzibie Comics or the more recent comics like "If Wishes were like Horses" or "Pigeon drop")

• A Movie satire of K-pop Demon Hunters (Not even a year and they still keep going up up up, so it's not too late for MAD to spoof on their overhyped success.)

• What-a-bummer on the mount (the current situation of the WBD-Paramount Skydance merger from the magazine's point of view)

• New takes on "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" & "The Lighter Side."

• The Wisenheim Museum: Harvey Kurtzman (I think it's long overdue)

•Monroe and... today (I honestly wondered what Monroe is doing right now? What happened after his last adventure in 2010?)

Now this leaves the other 50% with just the reprints. I carefully, and randomly, hand-pick some classic articles that they could use for this special occasion. Including the "best" of MAD about DC the issue is going to feature:

• 3-Dimensions! (Harvey Kurtzman & Wally Wood, MAD #12, June 1954)

• Absolute Cash-in (Tom Taylor & Bruno Redondo, MAD about DC, June 2026)

• Great Art Masterpieces and what they would be saying today (Adam Rust, MAD #500, June 2009)

• MAD's Puzzle Page (Al Jaffee & Mort Drucker, MAD #100, September 1966)

• A MAD look at Comic shops (Sergio Aragones, MAD about DC, June 2026)

• One day at the Park (Don Martin, MAD #137, September 1970)

• The Five People you meet at Comic Cons (Tini Howard & Mattie Lubchansky, MAD about DC, June 2026)

• Similar "MAD"-type comic book titles (Harvey Kurtzman & Wally Wood, MAD #17, November 1954)

• Starchie Reconstituted/Riverdull (Ian Boothby & Tom Richmond, MAD #1, June 2018)

• Superman: Humanity is the Real Kryptonite (Gerry Duggan & Tony Moore, MAD about DC, June 2026)

The 600th issue of MAD Magazine will be out for subscribers and at your local comic book store on June 17, 2026. What do you think? What do you want to see in the upcoming issue?

60s Mad Magazine Collection of many items

I’m just starting to sort and list some Mad magazine Items that I obtained at some point last year. Is there an expert Mad Magazine stuff collector out there that can tell me what I’ve got here? I have a lot of these stamps for example and it seems like prices are kind of all over the place. Shoot me a dm if you’d like! Thanks!

What’s a movie/show you’re surprised never got a full length parody in the magazine? Bonus points: what title should they have had?

I’m particularly surprised that the magazine never did a full length parody of Avatar. Closest they gave us was Sergio Aragones' "A Mad Look at Avatar".

I’m not sure what they would’ve called it, though. If they ever did the second one (which they didn’t, because the magazine is 90% reprints now), I think "Avatired: The Way Watered-Down" would’ve been a good one.

Similarly I'm surprised they never did a full spoof of any of the Transformers movies. "Trashformers" was right there as the perfect title. Same for the Pirates of the Caribbean films (“At World’s End” would’ve definitely been spoofed as “At Rope’s End”)

As for TV shows, there are tons we never got. Dr. Phil (or “Dr. Phool” as I would’ve called it) they surprisingly didn’t touch, nor did they do America’s Got Talent (which I’d have called “America Got Tasteless”), The Office (“The Offcolor”), Supernatural (“SuperIrrational”) and How I Met Your Mother (okay, I have no idea what I’d call a spoof of that one)
