Mad #255
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Gal of Me" is a sharp, wryly observed comic strip from Dave Berg’s signature style, where everyday absurdities—from following directions to babysitting and office collections—unfold with a touch of surreal humor. Penciled, inked, and written by Berg himself, the story weaves through mundane moments with a sly twist, all wrapped in a cover by Richard Williams that captures the same offbeat spirit. A 1985 slice of Mad’s classic satire, it’s a reminder that even the most ordinary routines can be hilariously off-kilter.
In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #255, a wry, typeset-lettered tour through the absurdities of everyday life finds humor in the chaos of mundane routines—whether it’s misreading instructions, surviving a babysitter’s meltdown, or trying to keep up with a high-tech world that never quite makes sense. With deadpan wit and a sharp eye for the ridiculous, the story skewers everything from office trivia to wedding plans, all in five pages of classic Mad satire.
