For over a month now, we’ve been giving clues about what’s on the cover of the next issue — and you’ve been guessing right along! Sure, we got some terrible guesses (J. Edgar? The Iron Lady?!? There’s Something About Mary!!?) — but we also got some guesses that showed genuine perception and cleverness (especially for MAD readers!) Kudos to blackbirdmk23 for figuring out it was a utensil that was being held; to edmeis, who got that it was an “American Gothic” spoof; to madcoversite for deducing that the mystery lady was Melissa McCarthy; and to inmydark for positing that it was Mike & Molly! You guys need to all pile into a psychedelic van and start solving mysteries together!
