ace! Is this a first for advertising to re-use that fun Mad gag? (I admit, I treasured the ones with the foldable covers..)

PermalinkBefore there was Where's Waldo... the logistics of design, the care that must be taken with the fold - I swoon!
In recent memory, anyway, I can't recall seeing the MAD fun page used. What an excellent ploy to pull people in and get them to interact with the ad. Much like those Captain Morgan fake short story ads with the Captain bursting through - I admit I tried to read them as far as I could.

PermalinkI am a huge fan of the brilliant "usual gang of idiots"
at MAD, and they have provided me with countless ideas.
I had planned on using the fold-out idea someday in an ad, but Miller beat me to it.
Waaaaaaaa! Booohoooooo! :-(
