way off topic Mad Magazine

[pegasus1300]

I used to read this magazine a lot. One of the parodies I remember was a take off on Winken, Blinken, and Nod. I think it was called Melvin, Norman, and Fred. The opening line was
"Melvin, Norman, and Fred one night sailed off in a garbage Scow on a river of slime."...... and that's all I remember. Does anybody else remember this? can post (or PM me) a copy? Thanks.

There are some Mad magazine spoofs here. I don't know whether what you're looking for is within.

That was one of my monthly reads way back when. Some good stuff then.

As Alfred E. Newman would say, "what, me worry?"

PS. I don't have a reference for the poem you mentioned.

I still get a Mad for Christmas every year. And stuff one in my son's stocking too.
A friend was an artist and writer there for years before passing. He always made a panel for my son when he was growing up and signed the mag.

Thanks Mudbug, I got your PM. I had gone there earlier but couldn't find it.
