“"Starchie Bonker's Place" or A Christmas Carol O'Conner”

In "Starchie Bonker's Place" or A Christmas Carol O'Conner, Dave Berg delivers another sharp, satirical gem from the pages of Mad #228, a 90-cent comic from 1982. With his signature wit and keen eye for absurdity, Berg explores a parade of everyday human quirks—from awkward interviews to the perils of holiday shopping—through a series of tightly drawn, laugh-out-loud vignettes. The cover, by Jack Rickard, captures the issue’s offbeat spirit with a classic Mad flair.
