Mad #160
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In a sharp satire of *Going My Way*, a stodgy, old-school priest finds his routines upended by a younger colleague who swaps prayer for pop music and liturgy for casual conversation. The clash of generations unfolds in three pages of deadpan humor, where faith and fashion collide in the most unexpected ways.
In this satirical parody from Mad #160, Father O'Irish—now in his sixties and clinging to old-school ways—finds himself paired with a younger priest whose Seventies-era outlook clashes hilariously with his own rigid traditions. The mismatched duo navigates the absurdities of modern parish life, all rendered in the magazine’s signature deadpan, typeset lettering style.
