When winter is coming, there’s not much else to do but sit inside and laugh. So it’s appropriate that the funny folks at MAD Magazine have set their sights on TV’s hottest show, Game of Thrones, for their most recent parody.

The mag promises to “Plunge into Game of Thrones” for its June 2013 issue and, as the headline suggests, we are treated to an image of MAD’s famous cover boy Alfred E.

Check out the full cover below.

The Mississippi has replaced the Hudson, the Equator is squatting where New Jersey should be, and Wasilla, Alaska appears instead of Washington, DC. It’s a great send-up that gets extra points for being so meticulously composed; check out how similar it is to the original by comparing it to Steinberg’s cover after the jump.
