Mad #146

In this satirical take on *Love Story*, a wealthy college boy pursues a romance with Jo, a girl from a different background, defying his parents’ expectations—only to face a tragic, beautifully rendered twist. Written with sharp wit and delivered in Mad’s signature parody style, the story plays with the melodrama of its source while keeping the tone irreverent and bold.

A satirical take on wartime propaganda, "Recruiting Posters Through History" reimagines the iconic "Uncle Sam wants you" style for absurdly anachronistic military campaigns across history—each poster parodying the over-the-top tone of real recruitment art, all rendered in sharp, typeset lettering.

In "Reality Street," a satirical twist on "Sesame Street," puppets and residents of a crumbling urban block attempt to teach basic lessons amid the grit and chaos of their everyday lives. With sharp wit and biting humor, the story turns a familiar educational format into a surreal commentary on urban decay, all delivered through the stark, typeset letters of Mad's signature style.
