Mad #151
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "One Day in the Jungle," Dick DeBartolo crafts a sharp, satirical take on medical drama tropes, following a metropolitan hospital where the staff’s obsession with a patient’s past takes precedence over their urgent medical needs. Illustrated with precision by Angelo Torres and inked by the same, the story’s biting humor shines through its exaggerated, character-driven chaos. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the episode’s surreal tone with a striking, stylized image that hints at the absurdity within.
In "Miracle Center," a satirical take on the TV series *Medical Center*, a metropolitan hospital spirals into absurdity as doctors and staff obsess over a patient’s life story—complete with dramatic flashbacks and emotional revelations—while ignoring the urgent medical crisis at hand. The story’s sharp, typeset letters amplify the irony, turning a routine hospital visit into a farcical spectacle of misplaced priorities.
