Mad #28
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "MAD Reader!", Dick DeBartolo and Mort Drucker deliver a delightfully absurd parody of "Star Trek," following an intrepid but hilariously inept crew as they attempt to save a planet from a bizarre plague—complete with Drucker’s signature caricature flair and Fredrickson’s sharp, satirical cover.
In a delightfully absurd parody of "Star Trek," the bumbling crew of the starship *Blecch* stumbles through space, attempting to save a planet from a bizarre plague—without quite knowing what they're doing. With deadpan humor and perfectly typeset letters, the story mocks sci-fi tropes while keeping the chaos firmly in check.
In "The Best of... the Lighter Side of the Mad Office," Jo navigates the absurd chaos of everyday life—from office politics and parenting woes to the mysteries of modern math and the perils of driving—all with a satirical eye and a touch of surreal humor. With sharp, typeset letters and a stream-of-consciousness riff on modern anxieties, the story skewers everything from the economy to heavy metal, finding absurdity in the mundane.
