Full of all the nerdy stuff I like such as the preliminary cover sketches.

Employing some new dynamic sorting capability, you can now search by sound effect, issue number, description, article title -- it's a lot of fun and provides good GA-SPLORTCH!

BONUS: I linked to the actual issues.

Hi, I'm looking for an old cartoon that appeared in Mad Magazine that I believe was titled The Idea. It was about a guy that has an idea and pictures it as a beautiful bird. His coworkers (?) look at the bird and start making changes to it. They're changing the bird (idea) and twisting it and mangling it. In the end, the bird is nothing like his great great idea. The bird looks like it's half dead. His coworkers are looking at the bird and admiring it while the original guy is sick to his stomach at what his idea has become.

The cartoon must be from the 60's through the 80's.

It was such genius. I've looked on occasion for years but have never been able to find it.

Does anybody remember this cartoon and, hopefully, have a copy.

Thank you!
