Mad #288
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Twinge," Dave Berg delivers his signature blend of wit and observation in a single-issue snapshot of everyday absurdities, from classroom quirks to the quiet chaos of family life, all wrapped in his trademark deadpan humor. With art and inks by Berg himself, and a cover by Richard Williams, this 1989 Mad classic finds comedy in the mundane—where even the economy and doctors get a satirical nod.
In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #288, a sharp, satirical take on everyday absurdities unfolds across five pages of classic Mad humor. From school life to family quirks, the economy to the wisdom of doctors, the story skewers modern frustrations with a wry, typeset wit that feels both timeless and perfectly pitched to its 1989 moment.
