10th Anniversary of “Mission Accomplished" Accomplished

CLASSIC MAD DEPT.

Ten years ago today, President George W. Bush dressed up as a fighter pilot (the only incident of presidential cosplay we know of), landed on an aircraft carrier, and declared “Mission Accomplished” in the Iraq War — which actually didn’t end until 2011. So, as Dubya celebrates the opening of his Presidential Library, we celebrate with the cover of MAD #437, on which we anointed his premature declaration of victory as one of The 20 Dumbest Things of the Year for 2003.

Celebrity Snaps: Robert Pattinson on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"

WHAT, MEDIA WORRY? DEPT.

On Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel asked Twilight’s mumbly dreamboat Robert Pattinson about his appearance on the cover of MAD #518 — and they even posed with a copy! You can watch the clip here (at the 2:30 mark) — Pattinson actually compliments cover artist Mark Fredrickson’s caricature, saying it looks like “a better version of me.” Sweet of you to say, Bobby — but, in truth, we would’ve been hard-pressed to come up with a WORSE version of you! Thanks, Jimmy — your complimentary “Celebrity Snap” subscription is in the mail!

We've been teasing our new cover over the last two weeks, asking our readers to figure out what the final image will look like. Today the full cover was revealed by our friends at The Huffington Post! Congrats to Idiotical reader Mark Anthony Vincent, who came closest when he wrote "Obama on one side, Romney on the other side of Alfreds shoulders". (Mark, if you had only added that Barry and Mitt were both devils, you'd have won the summer 2012 gold medal in MAD cover-guessing.)

Click here to head over to HuffPo to see the cover, titled "Welcome to Election Hell". It's painted by Mark Fredrickson.
