Mad #160

In "Tell-Tale Comic Strip Balloons," a witty parody sequel to "Going My Way," Father O'Irish—now in his sixties—finds himself navigating unexpected changes as he’s paired with a younger priest whose modern, Seventies sensibilities clash with his old-school ways. Written by Lou Silverstone and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Angelo Torres, the story captures a rare moment of generational tension wrapped in EC’s signature satirical flair. The cover, by Norman Mingo, perfectly captures the comic’s playful tone.
