Subject: Mad Magazine Poster of Human Body+Skull/Brain

Written By: K1chyd on 07/21/18 at 12:34 am

Hi!

In the late 80s, or possibly early 90s, Mad Magazine had a long form poster of the Human Body (3/4) and Human Skull/Brain (1/4) presented as a mix of robot/android/other stuff. I've been trying to find that online, but striking out. Possibly I'm using the wrong search words. And I don't remember who draw it. Also there were numbered "organs" described in a funny way, I think 100 in total, though it might have been 100 for the Body part of the poster alone. Please help!

I searched a bit and didn't turn up anything, at least not with robot and android parts. Are you sure it was Mad and not one of the other humor mags like Cracked, National Lampoon, or Bananas?

Thanks for trying.

Yes, it was from Mad Magazine. Robot-like an/or Android-like. The top 1/4 only the head see-through. The other 3/4 neck-torso-pelvis see-through. No arms and legs as fas as I remember.

I know you said you were sure it was Mad, but there's this from Cracked #365 in 2004:

There was also this ad parody from Mad #24 (1955) that appeared in Maria Reidelbach's 1991 book "Completely Mad" and may also have been reprinted in a super special edition during the time you're talking about:

And here's a larger version that won't let me hotlink with an image tag:
