Mad #264
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Moon-Fighting," Dave Berg delivers his signature satirical take on modern life with a sharp, wry look at everything from college quirks to the absurdities of dating and marriage. Penciled, inked, and written entirely by Berg, the issue skewers everyday rituals with a blend of humor and psychological insight, all framed through a surreal, deadpan lens. The cover, a delightfully exaggerated portrait by Mort Drucker, perfectly captures the story’s tone—offbeat and observant.
In "The Lighter Side of...", Jo navigates a whirlwind of absurd situations—from awkward dates and fake college credentials to wrestling matches and doctor’s visits—each page skewering modern life with sharp, satirical wit. A cynical, fast-paced dive into everyday absurdities, the story finds humor in the chaos of routines, relationships, and the ever-present fear of being caught.
