I think most of us have had our suspicions that "Star Roars" from MAD Magazine #196 January 1978 would be THE article with the most reprints in the entire history of MAD reprints.
At this early stage of my reprint project it comes out on top with the following fourteen...

Poor Joe Fonebone... GAARGH! (Gasp)
