Here is a list that was initially compiled back in 2003 and appeared in THWAK #4/The Journal of MADness #15 double issue. I have since revised it slightly and although I am not claiming it to be a 100% complete listing of all MAD like American humor magazines I feel it comes pretty close.
For the purposes of trying to stay as concise to the MAD type magazine I chose not to include College magazines, general single panel gag magazines, National Lampoon types, genre specific ie CARtoons, CYCLEtoons etc. Enjoy and I hope this proves to be a good reference.
