“St. Healthscare”

"St. Healthscare" is a sharp, satirical single-entry strip from Dave Berg’s iconic Mad series, where the writer-artist turns his keen eye on the absurdities of modern medicine and patient expectations. With razor-sharp wit and classic Mad irreverence, it skewers everything from doctor-patient dynamics to the quirks of healthcare culture—illustrated with Berg’s signature precise, deadpan style. The cover by Sam Viviano captures the mood with a perfectly timed, tongue-in-cheek visual punch.
