Did anyone read the Mad Magazine version?


Called "The Heartburn Kid?"

Hysterical and it shows Lenny accepting the money to stay away from Kelley, and moving on from woman to woman taking money, getting rich until the last panel he meets a family he can't scam; The Corleone's.

I never read that Mad magazine. Anyone know the month and year of that issue? Maybe I can pick up a copy on ebay.

In the spring of '71 when I was 14 I bought a special edition of Mad, that included a a fold-out poster that was an American flag with the Pledge of Allegience printed in red making up the red stripes, concluding with '...with liberty and justice for all, including kikes, wops, spics, *beep* WASPs, etc.' It was shocking even for those times; imagine something like that now.

Edit - the 'beep' is the N word.

It was the very first MAD magazine I ever saw. It also had a parody of all the Bond movies.

I was on vacation, and the boy who had it gave it to me. There was a hole in the cover - probably the parents cut out the offending language from the fold-out. I became a big fan of the mag.

I made a point of recording the movie last month and watched it yesterday, 40 years after reading it in MAD, and I knew the whole story, right down to "You're in my spot."
