Mad #238

In "An Officer Ain't No Gentleman," Dave Berg delivers another sharp, wry slice of suburban life with his signature blend of satire and insight. Through a series of interconnected vignettes, the story explores the absurdities of everyday expectations—from babysitting to career choices, from police work to the quiet sacrifices behind the badge—all drawn with Berg’s precise, deadpan humor. The cover by Jack Rickard captures the tone perfectly, a 1.00 USD comic from 1983 that remains a witty, timeless look at modern manners and the little rituals of growing up.
