Some millennials, including Buttigieg, ask: Who?
Mad Magazine mascot Alfred E. Neuman shows off the debut cover of the publication's new look at a New York news conference Tuesday, April 1, 1997.
The magazine first used the illustration on its cover in 1956 as a write-in candidate for president. While fairly ubiquitous in pop culture, the popularity of the cartoon and the magazine peaked in the 1970s. "I’ll be honest. I had to Google that,” Buttigieg told reporters Friday. “I guess it’s just a generational thing. I didn’t get the reference. It’s kind of funny, I guess.”
The millennial mayor plays up his youth as an asset. He’s fond of saying it will be 2054 when he’s the same age as Trump, making him part of the generation that has the greatest long-term stake in the political decisions made today.
