I always went for the black spy, I always thought he looked cooler.  8)

I always liked the White spy, it just seemed like more of his bombs exploded on him and I always like the underdog if given a choice.  ;D

Firstly, thanks for the memory stirrer, I used to read Mad back in the 70's, and I have forgotten about these two.

btw, my favourite Spy has been lost in the sands of time.

Black spy easily.  He usually had the upper hand.

Black spy.  Always bet on black.  The problem was frame after frame, year after year, neither of them ever got anywhere.  They both now work for Blackwater or whatever it's called now...

The point was that frame after frame, year after year, neither of them ever got anywhere.

If Chuck Jones and the Road Runner vs. the Coyote was the visual metaphor for WW2, then MAD Magazine and Spy vs. Spy was a metaphor for everything that happened thereafter.

Maybe it was a metaphor for the Cold War.

I too was a Grey Spy fan, the female spy. She never lost and usually used the Black and White spy's ineptitude to
her advantage, making both look silly. Kind of like real life isn't it?

Right now the White Spy is up by a point, and I just voted for Black Spy.
