In the late 1950s, Mad Magazine satirized the periodical, in what is likely their harshest satire ever: "Ladies' Home Journey, the Magazine Women Wallow In. Mad is a monthly American Humor Magazine founded by editor Harvey Kurtzman and publisher William Gaines in 1952 " Several "articles" in this satire shared the theme that a woman marries a man only to wear him down until he dies so she can play the vulture and get his money--even as stated in Mad's introduction to the article.
