“Mad's Modern Believe It or Nuts 13”

In "Mad's Modern Believe It or Nuts 13," a Jewish man and his Catholic wife navigate the absurdities of clashing family traditions in a sharp, satirical take on 1970s marital sitcoms. Written by Arnie Kogen and brought to life with vibrant, expressive art by Angelo Torres, the story skewers cultural clichés with wit and precision. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the comedic tension with a classic Mad flair.
