Mad #119
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"One Day in the Park" is a sharp, satirical gem from EC’s Mad #119, a 1968 35-cent comic that skewers consumer culture with a mock Shell Oil ad gone hilariously wrong. Written by Lou Silverstone and brought to life with bold, consistent art by George Woodbridge—pencils, inks, and colors all his—this story follows a test car in a ridiculous race that ends in a cliffhanger of epic proportions. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the absurdity perfectly, setting the tone for a laugh that’s as timeless as it is sharp.
