Neuman comically stuck on a tree while skiing, setting the tone for the magazine's distinctive humor. This issue is packed with classic Mad satire, including parodies of popular culture of the era. The cover explicitly mentions "Our Version A Hack Job On 'Alien'" and "Taxi!," indicating spoofs of the sci-fi horror film "Alien" and the popular TV show "Taxi." Inside, the table of contents lists further hilarious features such as "AD Nausea Department" ("TV Ads We'd Like To See"), "BERB'S-EYE View Department" ("People We'd Like To See From"), "Buy Gone Buy-Gones Department" ("Mad's Look At History - Ancient Rome"), "Don In The Cab Department" ("Taxing!" A Mad TV Show Satire), "Don Martin Department" ("Don Martin Looks At 'Spider-Man'"),
