Mad #188
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Moronic Woman," a satirical twist on the bionic spy genre, a teacher with secret government ties races to retrieve the schematics of her own bionic upgrades from a foreign power. Written by Dick DeBartolo and illustrated with sharp, expressive flair by Mort Drucker, this Mad #188 parody blends absurdity and espionage with a distinctly 1977 edge. The cover, by Jack Rickard, captures the story’s over-the-top tone with its exaggerated, comic-book flair.
In a satirical twist on "The Bionic Woman," a perpetually flustered teacher named Jo finds herself caught between grading papers and thwarting espionage—after discovering her bionic upgrades were secretly implanted without her consent. With her latest mission requiring her to retrieve the original schematics from a foreign nation, she’s forced to juggle lesson plans and high-stakes gadgetry, all while the world’s most over-the-top secret agent schemes go hilariously off track.
