No. MAD (magazine) was started by legendary editor Harvey Kurtzman in 1952 as a comic book title being published by the soon-to-be-defunct EC Comics (also home to Tales From the Crypt). The series switched from a comic format to a magazine format in 1955, partially to secure its content from the oversight authority possessed by the Comics Code. With the transfer of its last surviving regular title, EC Comics ceased publishing comic books in 1956. The magazine is still being published today, having reached its milestone 500th issue in April 2009.
MADtv premiered in 1995 on the FOX Network. Though effectively a separate entity, the show did feature some content taken from the magazine, notably Don Martin's Spy vs. Spyand the publication's mascott, Alfred E. Neuman. The show has been announced to cease production in 2009, after fourteen seasons.
The last issue of Mad magazine was #10, published in August 2019. Mad magazine was published bi-monthly before transitioning to a reprint-only format.
