I have an old copy of Donald E. Knuth's "Curriculum Vitae".  This is the first
entry under the "Publications" section:

P1.  The potrzebie system of weights and measures.  MAD Magazine 33 (June 1957),
     36-37.  (Illustrated by Wallace Wood.)  Reprinted in Like, MAD (New York:
     Signet Pocket Books No. S1838, 1960), 139-145.
