Mad #286
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Thirtysuffering," Dave Berg delivers his signature satirical take on modern life, skewering everything from the absurdities of dating and fashion to the quirks of parenting, fishing, and the daily grind—all through his trademark deadpan wit. With art and inks by Berg himself, and a sharp, sardonic cover by Richard Williams, this 1989 issue of Mad offers a wry, timeless look at the little frustrations that make up adulthood.
In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #286, a sharp, satirical eye roams across the absurdities of everyday life—from the vanity of fashion to the baffling logic of school, from the drama of the singles scene to the mysteries of fishing and food. With wry commentary on doctors, fathers, finances, and television, the story skewers modern quirks with the kind of deadpan humor Mad does best.
