No, someone took an existing painting and modified it with copy/paste to show two middle fingers. Which is also ironic, given the message they’re trying to send.
Yea I wondered that after I posted my comment but I wondered if it was a joke issue or something. A lot of the issues I had growing up had a front cover and a back one that would work if you flipped it the right way that was an alternative or a joke cover.
Hmm the original doesn’t have that bit in the bottom right about the original concept. Is this a real MAD foldout based on an old cover but updated for the current hot topic?
I don’t think this is real. If you search up the issue number you’ll see the real version. It’s also from 1974.
So did someone make this with AI 🤔

They’re republishing old editions with new covers. Dunno if this is one of those
lol yeah, otherwise MAD was WAAAAY ahead of its time 😂
EDIT: huh, does lemmy not support nested quotes or am I just dumb
That part isn’t on the original cover. Is this a real foldout from a recent MAD issue that is an updated version of the 1974 cover?
I can see the different levels of quote, but there’s also spaces between them. Too many line breaks maybe?
Your reader might not support nested quotes though.
