Spy vs. Spy 50th Anniversary Celebration

2011 marks the 50th Anniversary of Spy vs. Spy. To celebrate this historic milestone, every day TheIdiotical will be devoting a post to Antonio Prohias’ classic strip. Today, it’s the very first Spy strip, from MAD #60 (January, 1961).

Spy vs. Spy, MAD #60

Over the next few days we’ll be featuring Spy tribute art by different artists. Tomorrow, it’s a post-apocalyptic envisioning of Spy vs. Spy by legendary comic artist Jim Lee.

Then, in early July, we’ll begin unveiling “Operation Dynamite.” To celebrate the anniversary, we sent blank statues of a Spy to some of the world’s greatest artists and toy manufacturers and told them to go wild. You won’t believe the results!

Afghanistan Tourism Slogans

As the withdrawal of US troops in Afghanistan begins, so too will the withdrawal of billions of dollars of US cash from the country’s economy. To compensate, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai is already hard at work to reposition his country as the perfect vacation destination. Here are some of the tourism slogans currently under consideration.

Afghanistan — Come for the shell craters, stay for the human rights violations!

Visit Kandahar — you’ll leave a little piece of yourself behind.

Kabul is for lovers — of unmanned drone attacks.

Afghanistan — Where memories and paraplegics are made.

Ten centuries of invading armies can’t be wrong. Come see Afghanistan!

Afghanistan — Land of a thousand corrupt government officials!
