Fake MAD, the American magazine, limned Biden and Zelenskyi as Laocoon on its cover

Pro-Russian users of social networks, in particular Facebook, are spreading a cover photo of the allegedly satirical American magazine MAD, which depicts the Ukrainian and American presidents as Laocoon. Such reports claim that "the American satirical magazine MAD came out with the original cover". The composition depicted in the photo resembles the famous sculpture “Laocoon and His Sons”, however, instead of snakes, the figures of Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelenskyi are wrapped in pipes, on which the flag of Russia is visible. At the same time, the right hand of the President of Ukraine is stretched up in such a way that it resembles a Nazi salute. The caption was added to the cartoon: "Of course, it was Biden, he just forgot about it". However, MAD magazine has never released an issue with this cover.
