What? Me Worry?

Yes, Alfred E. Newman and MAD Magazine are still alive, kicking, and looking to expand their pool of freelance comedy writers. If you have a twisted sense of humor, a peculiar way of looking at the world, or are particularly eager to express your immature, strange, or just plain silly side, they want to see your stuff! They are looking for:
  • Material for The Fundalini Pages
  • Comic Strips
  • Hard-Hitting Satire/Cutting-Edge Yuks
  • Media Parody
  • Utter Silliness
  • MAD 20 Features
Send them a paragraph or two explaining the premise of your article, with 3 or 4 examples of how you would carry it through. They strongly advise checking out the MAD Magazine of today, not the one we grew up with (although that helps!) They pay top rates: $500 per MAD page (for new contributors), on acceptance. Pieces that are less than a page are pro-rated accordingly.
Please go to their website for the rest of their submission guidelines.
