Mad #187
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Gall of the President's Men," two determined reporters dive into a tangled web of political intrigue, following whispers that lead straight to the highest levels of power. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with sharp, satirical flair by artist Mort Drucker, this Mad #187 parody skewers the era’s obsession with scandal and secrets. The cover, by Jack Rickard, captures the story’s biting tone with a striking, exaggerated portrait of a shadowy figure in power.
In a sharp satire from Mad #187, two bumbling reporters follow a trail of absurd clues that somehow lead straight to the highest office—where the real scandal might just be the president’s terrible taste in socks. Written with the magazine’s signature wit and typeset letters, this seven-page parody turns political intrigue into a farce where the truth is even more ridiculous than the cover-up.
In "Spy Vs. Spy," the White Spy sets a trap with a club on a string, but the Black Spy isn’t fooled—breaking the string sends the club springing forward, catching the Black Spy’s foot in a twist of misdirected sabotage.
