Celebrating more than seven decades of humor, What, Me Worry? The Art and Humor of MAD Magazine examines the unforgettable art and satire of MAD, from its start in 1952 as a popular humor comic book to its evolution into a beloved magazine that spoke truth to power and attracted generations of devoted readers. Always historically and socially timely—and always very funny—MAD’s influence and cultural impact is explored through iconic original illustrations and cartoons created by the magazine’s “Usual Gang of Idiots,” the many artists and writers who have been the publication’s mainstays for decades.

Influenced by the region’s culture and politics, they portray moments of leisure, religious devotion, and political positioning, and were given as gifts between regional nobility, families, and political allies.
