Regarding the low resolution: to think I almost "upgraded" from my Broderbund cd-roms. Glad I read the negatives here.
Considering that the main draw for me with MAD is the stunning art by Wally Wood in the first hundred or so issues, it makes no sense to have less resolution. I truly pity the latecomers who missed out on the cd-rom set and will not get the full impact of each issue.
However, I was introduced to my dad's stack of twenty year old MADs when I was a tyke in the 1970s - it included most of the issues from 37-125 (lost in a housefire, darnit) and were not simply funny but an introduction to recent history. I supppose I was the only eight year old who knew all the jokes about Richard Nixon and Nikita Khruschev.
The very best issues were 35-85 (1957-1962), be sure to check them out.
SO - if you have little guys and a PC, by all means get this for them and get them interested in their social studies classes from a smart-ass angle. It's always been a great help to me.
On the serious side, for a younger generation that seems to have trouble questioning authority, this is essential in developing an over-all sense of humor regarding the world and how it works.Get more detail about Absolutely MAD Magazine - 50+ Years.
