In "Familial Matters," Dave Berg delivers his signature satirical take on everyday life, weaving humor through the quirks of modern relationships, office dynamics, and the absurdities of parenting—like a child’s show-and-tell gone rogue or a marriage counselor who’s also a professional wrestler. With sharp wit and deadpan visuals, the issue explores everything from flying lessons to medical bills, all drawn with Berg’s unmistakable style. The cover by Richard Williams captures the tone perfectly, a playful nod to the chaos of family life.
