It was created by Max Gaines who, watching the bit comics sections coming of a press, thought that if they were folded once, then folded again, they'd make a magazine sized publication. He tried it, selling them on NYC newsstands, and it worked. His son went on to publish Mad Magazine, among other comic book titles. Yes, Mad started as a comic book.
