☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Star Blecch: The Next Degradation" is a sharp, satirical take on modern life from Dave Berg, whose writing and art bring his signature deadpan wit to a parade of everyday absurdities—from broken-down cars and baffling justice to the chaos of school, birthdays, and dinner plans. With Richard Williams’ acerbic cover capturing the mood perfectly, this 1988 issue of Mad offers a timeless, if slightly exasperated, look at the little frustrations that make growing up so bewildering.
