“Die-Nasty”

"Die-Nasty" delivers a sharp, satirical dive into the absurdities of everyday life, all drawn with the signature wit of Dave Berg. With his trademark deadpan humor and meticulous detail, Berg skewers modern anxieties—from jogging to weddings, from office politics to TV-induced dread—making this 1985 Mad classic a timeless, if slightly weary, commentary on the routines we pretend to enjoy. The cover by Richard Williams perfectly captures the issue’s sardonic spirit.
