Title: Humor that time has largely left behind
Review: It is unfortunate that it is generally true that the humor that appeared in Mad Magazine the 1960's has not aged well. It was generally incredibly stupid, used a minimalist approach in the images and the language was squeaky clean. The two primary characters in these stories are Fester and Karbunkle, one an unshaven small guy and the other rather large and dimwitted. Most of their actions can be described as extreme slapstick, such as large and heavy objects being dropped on their head.Since I lived through this humor the first time, I have a predilection to enjoy it that more modern people will lack. Yet, I did not find it funny, at best I would consider it slightly amusing. Tastes in humor change over time and in many ways the changes have passed this book by.
