A Mad Guide to Leisure Time

From 1976 to 1988, Warner Books published just four issues of A Mad Guide to Leisure Time, a satirical spin-off of Mad magazine that poked fun at hobbies, travel, and pastimes. The series is most closely associated with artist George Woodbridge, whose detailed, deadpan style anchored the comic's gently mocking tone. A niche but fondly remembered artifact of the Mad universe, it stands as a quirky time capsule of mid-century leisure culture.
