The image sets two versions of the same cover side by side. The left panel shows a realistic portrait of a smiling man with brown hair, wearing a suit and tie, inserted where the magazine’s mascot would normally appear. The right panel shows the original artwork featuring Alfred E. Neuman, the freckle-faced, gap-toothed cartoon mascot of MAD Magazine, with his wide grin and jug ears.
Both versions carry identical readable text. The masthead reads “MAD Magazine” in a large red logo, and the cover shows the date “OCT 1959” and the marking “No. 50.” The price line reads “OUR PRICE 25 cents CHEAP.” The mascot’s face appears as a banner on a brick wall with a city skyline behind it. Hanging lamps, hooks, paintbrushes, a paint can and paint drips suggest a work-in-progress theme.
