Hey look, it's more Morton Downey. The use of Mort in these comics is somewhat sad and ironic, as he would eventually develop terminal lung cancer from his trademark smoking habit. In his final years, he actually became an anti-smoking crusader and tried to stop others from making the same mistakes he had made. Mort's death, while tragic, was sort of a blessing in disguise. By dying in March 2001, Downey was spared the horror of two of the most tragic events in American history: 9/11 and Alien vs. Predator. Having appeared in the most excellent Predator 2, he probably would have been more upset with the latter; I know I was. The faux 60 Minutes wraps up with a few more jokes on Page 24, leaving the editor with an adjacent page to fill. That page is filled with a MAD magazine opinion poll where readers are invited to voice their opinions to MAD's questions by calling one of two 1-900 numbers. This is most likely a parody of the infamous ad that appeared in the back of Batman #427 were readers were asked to vote as to whether or not Robin (Jason Todd) would live or die. The vote was close, but Batman readers opted to let Todd die. It's an interesting thing to satirize, but the execution leaves much to be desired. The second question in particular is pretty odd: "While kissing your date goodnight, should you tell her she has a zit on her nose?" Is it even *possible* to get a zit on your nose? And more importantly, why is the girl wearing a headband and a see-through nightie that barely covers her ass? I also find it disturbing that she's wearing what appear to be six-inch heels and her date is STILL two feet taller than her. Either he's Andre The Giant or she's twelve years old. Either way, he's most definitely going to permanently break her vagina if they have sex.
