2. Absolutely Amazing!

And to think it was published over 55 years ago, during the Nixon administration. Some background...

The "Super Patriot" cartoon truly appeared in MAD magazine. While this image is frequently shared online as if it dates from 1968, the cartoon was actually published the following year, in 1969.

According to MAD magazine collector Doug Gilford's website, Madcoversite.com, the "Super Patriot" cartoon appeared in issue #129 of MAD Magazine, released in September 1969, and under a section titled, "The Mad Primer of Bigots, Extremists, and Other Loose Ends." This section was written by Frank Jacobs and Stan Hart and featured the artwork of Jack Davis.

The magazine section featured 10 chapters (or cartoons) across three pages that showcased various extremists. The "Super Patriot" was the first chapter in the section.

3. In 1969, Nixon would just have taken office.

They were just starting to show how ugly thet were. Not Trump style ugly, but for the era pretty bad. I actually remember that one, and I was 16 or 17 at the time.

4. That's dead on.

Except that today's "Super Patriots" love and worship the very rich.

5. My Dad subscribed to MAD Magazine and my brother and I used to read them

And I'm sure they must be around somewhere, that was one magazine that was saved - my brother and I also read the old ones.

8. I was a devoted reader of Mad Magazine

I devoured new issues as soon as I could get my hands on them. I didn't have a subscription but bought mine at the local candy store. Remember them?

I guess I'm a bit older than you.
I remember this piece.

10. When we visited my maternal grandmother, there wasn't a lot for we kids to do, so my Dad took us to a nearby newsstand

Where he bought a copy of MAD Magazine for himself and my brother and I each picked out a comic book. That may be when he started subscribing to MAD and, as I said, my brother and I both read those, too.
