Memories of a Misspent Youth

THE magazine of my youth was Mad - you know, Alfred E. Newman and Spy versus Spy - and recently we bought a history of Mad for our stock. Did you know:
The famous chimpanzee of the 1950s, J. Fred Muggs co-hosted TV's  "Today Show" with Dave Garroway. Fred enjoyed finger painting, and his oeuvre ran to over a ten thousand paintings, one of which became a Mad magazine cover. Eat your heart out, Picasso !
