In "The Way We Bore," a Native American ex-marine seeks peace on his ancestral land, only to find that old grudges and small-town hostility won’t let him rest. Written by Stan Hart and illustrated by Angelo Torres, this 1974 EC satire delivers sharp humor and quiet tension in a story that skewers frontier myths with a straight face. The cover by Norman Mingo captures the clash of cultures with a striking, stylized intensity.

In this 1974 satire from Mad #168, a Native American ex-marine named Billy Jock tries to live quietly on his land, but the local redneck troublemakers just can’t leave him in peace—no matter how hard he tries to keep the peace. The story skewers the tropes of its source film with sharp, typeset letters and deadpan humor.
