Mad #166

In "The Call of the Mild," Jerry De Fuccio and Don Martin deliver a delightfully absurd twist on the series’ signature gross-out humor, with Martin’s signature cartoon chaos on full display. The issue’s standout moment comes in the form of a surreal, self-aware panel where Martin, Lou Silverstone, and the infamous fecal monster take a bow—celebrating the wild fan reaction to the "Yecch!" feature. The cover, also by Norman Mingo, captures the moment with gleeful, grotesque flair.
