[Phil · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another amusing Mad volume, this contains the usual spy versus spy cartoons and others, and the longer pieces include 'Famous people's home-study course, where you too can learn to become a famous photographer, drawer, a celebrity, a millionaire (or at least act like one) and so forth. A good spoof of a film, "The Son of Mighty Joe Kong," was perhaps the highlight. Also, a handy how-too guide on becoming a phony, and three installments on parties (adults, kids and teens). All in all, lots of good stuff. 3 solid stars!

I think these were a way for MAD to republish stuff from the 50s and 60s in the 70s. So, to a young teen, a lot of the cultural references didn't (and some still don't) make sense. Still, some amusing stuff but nothing memorable.
