British MAD II

Harry North was one of the regulars for the American Mad for a long time, recruited from this British edition. What I did not know until seeing this that he was still working for them simultaneously.
Photobucket Parody of The Young Ones, which was very popular here in the mid-80's.

He was also given the title “Esquire”, possibly because he was British. Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

    Sam, Have you ever told the tale of the time we visited the Mad offices in the 80's? I only vaguely remember it. I know we got to go in Bill Gaines office and drool at him for a minute...
