According to news reports today, Fidel Castro has sent some Cuban rum and cigars to Nelson Mandela, the former South African president, who turns 88 this week. He is such a charmer, that Castro. Only problem is that according to the South African media, Mandela is not known as a drinker - and he is a committed anti-smoker.
The magazine cover above, from the October 1963 issue of MAD, is a classic. You can see it in all its colourful glory at www.havanajournal.com.
The question is if Mandela will ever ask fidel about Cuban dissidents, such as Dr. Biscet.
