* On a meta level, issue #539 has something that many fans have been wanting for a long time: a ''front cover'' illustrated by Tom Richmond! (He got cover duties again for #548, and a third for #9 of the reboot [albeit InTheStyleOf Jack Davis].)
* Also on a meta level... in March 2016, Al Jaffee was honored by ''Guinness Book of World Records'' for being the longest continuously working cartoonist, having not stopped since ''1942''!
* Another meta-level awesome. Since they were classic [[EqualOpportunityOffender Equal Opportunity Offenders]], they incurred reams of lawsuits...and won most of them. The rulings in their favor could fill a small library when it comes to First Amendment protection of satire and parody.
* Adding to the above; the whole magazine started out of anger at censorship. The anti-comics hysteria of the 1950's led to the Comics Code, which put most forms of comics out of business and forced the handful of survivors to severely {{Bowdlerize}} their content. One of the casualties was Gaines's ''Tales from the Crypt'', deemed too dark and corrupting. Cue him taking that same BlackComedy, and applying it to a ''protected'' medium of satire and parody, which allowed for him to fire shots he couldn't even get away with when writing the Cryptkeeper.

* On a meta-level, the Ghastlygun Tinies, a chilling and heart-wrenching parody of Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies, is considered one of MAD's best articles in years. Not only is it a brutally effective bit of satire on school violence, but a lot of people, including The New York Times, took notice of how the article harkened back to MAD's heyday. [[DownerEnding Too bad MAD would cease publishing new content a year later.]]
