Mad #123

In this playful parody from Mad #123, Snoopy takes on the Red Baron in a series of whimsical dogfights, seen through the lens of a German soldier’s diary—complete with earnest captions and a mock-serious tone. Drawn in the style of Charles Schulz, the story turns aerial combat into a series of absurd, lettered vignettes that skewer wartime tropes with deadpan humor.

In a satirical twist on *Camelot*, the president of a canned wax fruit company navigates scheming board members and his wife’s infidelity, all set against a backdrop of absurd corporate grandeur and misplaced chivalry. Written with sharp wit and rendered in the deadpan style of Mad’s classic satire, the story turns a mundane corporate world into a farcical court of petty power plays and floral deception.

In this sly 1968 satire from *Mad* #123, a smooth-talking, perpetually distracted thief finds himself roped into a secret government gig—just as long as he promises to quit chasing dames. With a wink and a smirk, the story turns the classic spy trope on its head, all in two pages of sharp, typeset lettering and classic Mad absurdity.
