Now that the Poynter ‘tablet conference’ is over, here’s the REAL scoop

Now that the Poynter ‘tablet conference’ is over, here’s the real scoop on the Apple iPad from a source you can trust: Mad magazine.

The cover to the new issue:

Untitled

Ouch! But funny.

The story on the inside is by John Caldwell, whose work used to impress me back in the 1980s, when he cartooned for National Lampoon. Click for a larger view:

That’s the only page Mad previewed for us on its web site. My pal Darren Sanefski says his copy just arrived in the mail, so look for it soon at your nearest newstand or trash heap.

In other news, Darren Sanefski subscribes to Mad magazine. Rumor has it that he looks forward to the annual swimsuit edition in February.

Find Mad’s home on the web here. Better yet, find Mad uber-artist Tim Richmond’s cartooning blog here.

    Actually it’s my son’s subscription, but I’ve enjoyed MAD since I was a tween, especially Spy vs. Spy.
