P3D Furshlugginer MADness

[Russ Ruhlen <t4rruhle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

... So, I wondered if I was following the rapid growth and death of the 
3-D craze in the reprints of Mad.  

Reprint #1, Oct.'52 to Mar.'53, no references to 3-D.

Reprint #2, April '53 to Aug. '53, two references to 3-D (well, one, if 
you're outrageously conservative).

Reprint # 3, Oct. '53 to Feb. '54, seven references (well, five, if 
you're one who thinks "The Origin of Species" should be sold in a plain, 
brown wrapper).

Reprint #4 (on your newsstand this week), April '54 to June '54, only two 
measly references until... an ENTIRE ARTICLE showing how 3-D is 
destroying the whole fabric of society, or, at least, Mad Magazine.
,
Get your bets down: how many references will appear in reprint #5?  Had 
the craze faded out of sight by September '54?

P.S.  I  don't know how many think Mad Magazine is appropriate for p3d, 
just figured it might be out of place in tech-3d.

P.P.S. $3.99 for reprints of ten cent comics?  Reprints don't even 
require original stories or art work.   But, then, it took $7 to get into
"The Full Monty" last week and back in them days we used to see the Saturday 
western, with cartoon and Captain ChezWhiz serial, for only nine cents.
