Neumann, Mad Magazine Icon Rare uncopyrighted image on a postcard from the late 50's to around 1960. from http://community.webshots.com/photo/304039856/304041768aZxySa# (Note: Obviously inaccurate description; this is clearly a pre "Mad Magazine" version of the face; from clothing and style looks to be c. 1910s -- Infrogmation)</span>
  • Why PD? / Fred Chess 11:08, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Documented back to the 19th century, decades before a variation on the famous image was used by MAD Magazine. See en:Mad (magazine), second paragraph in "Alfred E. Neuman" section for mention. -- Infrogmation 17:43, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
    • See also toonpedia article; 1914 US copyright mentioned (which may have been an invalid derivative of an early work in any case) has expired. -- Infrogmation
      • Ok, thanks. / Fred J 18:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
