New Exhibition Reflects on “MAD” Magazine at the CAM

The Cincinnati Art Museum (CAM) will host "What, Me Worry? The Art and Humor of MAD Magazine," a traveling exhibition from the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, opening November 21. The show traces MAD's evolution from a satirical comic book launched in 1952 to a magazine format adopted in 1955 after clashes with the Comics Code Authority, featuring original covers, illustrations, interactive galleries, and thematic sections on mascot Alfred E. Newman, fold-ins, Spy vs. Spy, and spoofs of famous artworks.
