The "Super Patriot" cartoon truly appeared in MAD magazine. While this image is frequently shared online as if it dates from 1968, the cartoon was actually published the following year, in 1969.

According to MAD magazine collector Doug Gilford's website, Madcoversite.com, the "Super Patriot" cartoon appeared in issue #129 of MAD Magazine, released in September 1969, and under a section titled, "The Mad Primer of Bigots, Extremists, and Other Loose Ends." This section was written by Frank Jacobs and Stan Hart and featured the artwork of Jack Davis.

The magazine section featured 10 chapters (or cartoons) across three pages that showcased various extremists. The "Super Patriot" was the first chapter in the section.
