This broke my heart.

Damn.... that's powerfully done.

[scelestus]

Ack. Not what I wanted to see first thing in the morning, but... well done. I didn't want to see it, but I think I NEEDED to see it.

[angelophile]

This could have been trite, but it's not. That's really powerful stuff.

Best MAD story I've seen in years. I didn't think the new gang of idiots had it in them.

[michaelsaint]

Wow. This was so good and terribly sad all at the same time.

I seriously consider home-schooling for my kids just for this reason and I can honestly say I never thought I would think that.

[crabby_lioness]

I do homeschool my kids, but my husband teaches school so I still have to deal with it.

[cygnia]

A well done punch to the gut.

[kamino_neko]

This from MAD. Jesus.

What else is a satire mag to do when the world satirizes itself?

[alicemacher]

Not the first time the magazine (or its earlier comic-book form) has gone completely serious to comment on issues that aren't a joking matter... but this might be their most effective serious bit yet.

[agharta75]

Back in MAD's glory days they did this all the time.

This made the rounds on tumblr a while ago. Holy shit, when MAD decides they're done fucking around, they pull out all the stops.

Especially that last line. Because Zoe won't be the last. Because the GOP and the NRA have long ago decided that /nothing/ is unacceptable in the cause of selling more guns.

Wow. Jesus.
