Mad #296
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Gore of the Roses," Dave Berg delivers another sharp, spot-on satire of modern life through a series of single-panel strips, poking fun at everything from office politics to sibling squabbles and the absurdities of modern relationships. With his signature wit and precise line work—both drawn and inked by Berg—this 1990 issue offers a sly, timeless look at human behavior, all framed by Jack Davis’s vivid, exaggerated cover.
In "The Lighter Side of...", Jo navigates a series of absurd, everyday scenarios—from negotiating with a doctor to asking for permission—each a wry take on modern life’s little frustrations. With sharp, satirical wit and no punchlines wasted, the story skewers how we handle communication, relationships, and the daily grind, all in five perfectly paced pages.
