I still have a subscription to MAD. It's still a pretty fun read, although I think it's been dumbed down over the years.

Having grown up on MAD magazines that were outdated even then, it's incredibly strange to see Sergio Aragones take on something relatively current. He hasn't lost his touch one bit though.

Sergio's one of those rare cartoonists that actually researches things he's drawing cartoons about. Which means that he watched the Twilight movies in order to draw those strips.

I hope you appreciate all the sacrifices he makes for all of us :colbert:

Some things in need of explaining:

3-4) Yep, all these reality tv formats run here too...

5) The flyer features Centre Party's Sirkka-Liisa Anttila who at the time (2011) was our minister of agriculture. The mission itself is a reference to a bunch of explicit SMS sent by former foreign minister and parliament's vice chairman Ilkka Kanerva to a bunch of ladies.

6) Jolo hostage crisis of 2000 was a thing because two out of the 20 hostages were Finnish. How bad was it? Awful. All of the hostages survived thanks to Muammar Gaddafi paying the ransom but then a Finnish schlager band decided to make a song of the dynamic duo's hardships. What kind of madness drives someone to inflict such horrors on innocent people???

7) Estonia is Finland's place to go for dirt cheap & badly done & potentially deadly plastic surgeries.

It's obvious this strip is actually about Guy Gilchrist climbing into Fritzi's tits to tell us that we needn't worry, he's never ever ever ever ever going to try to make Nancy anything but saccharine sickly glurge. Let's take it at face value for a minute, though.

Fritzi writes a column about geezer music, right? And she's assuring everybody that there's no way in hell she's going to say anything about these musicians other than the same rose-colored leave-it-to-Beaver sanitized "wasn't everything so much nicer back then" bullshit you hear about everything else from back in your grandpappy's day. But everybody knows that image isn't true, least of all in showbiz. Musicians weren't doing any less drinking and fighting pill popping and screwing and shooting up back then than they are now. There's gotta be tons of interesting stories about the music business back in the old days and that would make for an amazing column that people might actually read. Sounds like an interesting idea to me.

But whatevs. Boy Homer and Jethro sure did play music back when music was still good, right? I get tears in my eyes whenever I crank their tunes out on my Victrola. There! That's gold! Print it!
