Mad #131

In "On a Cruise to a South Sea Island," a 1969 EC comic story written by Tom Koch and illustrated by Mort Drucker, a middle-class Jewish man’s romantic hopes take a satirical turn when he embarks on a vacation with an upper-class Jewish woman—only to face the cold realities of social hierarchy. The story, a sharp parody of "Goodbye, Columbus," unfolds with dry wit and biting humor, all rendered in Mort Drucker’s expressive, caricatured style. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the story’s ironic tone with a vivid, stylized image of the couple in a tropical setting.
