All of that - yes!but I grew up on the original 1950's Mad Magazine so my library is a bit larger (actually running out of room!) I see that one can get the entire New Yorker cartoon history on on one DVD.
I also like Hoffnung and a lot of other UK artists - there is just so much good humor that is thankfully not totally lost to history.
