Mad #317
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Smellgross Place" is a sharp, satirical dive into the quirks of modern life, rendered with the signature wit of Dave Berg, who wrote, drew, and inked this Mad #317 installment. Through a series of clever, deadpan observations on everything from office politics to vacation plans, the story skewers everyday absurdities with precision and humor. The cover by James Warhola captures the same irreverent tone, perfectly framing the issue’s sardonic take on routine rituals.
In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #317 (1993), a sharp, typeset lettering style frames a wry, satirical take on everyday absurdities—from the rituals of engagement to the baffling logic of office life, the irony of vacation plans, and the strange rules of modern relationships. With deadpan humor and a keen eye for the ridiculous, the story skewers the small, universal quirks that make daily life oddly predictable and completely illogical.
