Peter DeFelice of Pyramid Comics and Cards in Sparta, New Jersey writes in to question the meaning behind the cover to DC Comics' new MAD Magazine #1 (see "'MAD' to Relaunch in April").
MAD Magazine #1, who is DC saying "F*** You" to? Is DC Comics saying "F*** You" to the retailers for carrying the All New MAD Magazine, to the customers that may want to buy the All New MAD Magazine, "F*** You" to all the DC Comics loyal readers, or just "F*** You" to everyone who shops at my store? And should I rack this in the all ages section?
