April of '74? Did they predict the future or is the issue date just another gag? I know they recently started printing the magazine again, so I truly am not sure if this is a new one or an old one...

'shopped art and cover text. the original cover art was the finger, though.. just not fingers

Yes was going to say it would have had to have been designed by generative AI to have five fingers and a thumb. LOL

Pasting my comment from the other post of this addressing OP:

What is this from? Did you print this? Why would you leave the og price and date tho? And no context? C’mon now this is an interesting story. But also, not something actually made by MAD Magazine… unless you work there? For those who don’t know what this is referencing:

And as far as I can tell OPs image is not an actual MAD cover.
