Mad #347
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Broke ‘n’ Narrow," Dave Berg delivers his signature satirical wit in a sharp, thought-provoking exploration of modern life’s contradictions—where inner peace clashes with office routines, therapy meets technology, and even child care gets a surreal twist. With his unmistakable art and writing, Berg distills a yearning for harmony amid chaos, all in a 1996 issue that feels both timeless and perfectly of its moment.
In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #347 (1996), a satirical dive into modern absurdities, the comic skewers everything from office drudgery to the overreach of therapy and technology, all through the lens of a world that’s just a little too eager to find peace in the most unlikely places. With sharp, typeset letters and a tone that’s equal parts wry and bewildered, it turns everyday anxieties into a parade of perfectly ridiculous observations.
