Mad #319
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Drek-ula" delivers a sharp, satirical take on modern workplace absurdities and the quiet rebellion of everyday choices, all drawn with the signature wit of Dave Berg. Through a blend of dry humor and keen observation, the story explores the hidden tensions behind routine decisions—from office dynamics to personal independence—rendered in Berg’s precise, expressive style. The cover by Richard Williams captures the tale’s ironic tone with a striking, deadpan image.
In "The Lighter Side of...", a deadpan satire unfolds across the mundane chaos of office life, where Jo navigates a world of absurd rules, baffling priorities, and thinly veiled corporate hypocrisy—all while trying to keep her head above water. With sharp wit and a dry eye, the story skewers modern rituals, from budget meetings to personal choices, all rendered in crisp, typeset letters that mirror the cold precision of the system it mocks.
