Mad #125

In this classic Mad installment, the White Spy outsmarts the Black Spy with a devious trap: leading the enemy’s tank across a bridge where the planks retract behind him, sending the vehicle plummeting. The timeless cat-and-mouse game unfolds in a single, perfectly timed page of absurd espionage.

In "Spy vs. Spy," the Black Spy sends a desperate S.O.S., drawing the White Spy into a trap that’s anything but what it seems. What starts as a simple ambush quickly spirals into a deadly game of deception, where every move is a step toward an unpredictable showdown.

In "The Mad Poetry Round Robin," a motley crew of literary legends—ranging from Poe to Longfellow—gather for a chaotic poetry slam where every verse is more absurd than the last. With famous lines reimagined in Mad’s signature satirical style, the competition spirals into a whirlwind of parody, where even the most solemn stanzas are twisted into comic chaos.
