☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Nerdcage," Dave Berg delivers his signature satirical take on modern life through a series of sharp, single-panel strips that skewer everything from the singles scene to therapy, office politics, and the absurdities of everyday rules. With his trademark wit and clean, precise art—pencils and inks by the legendary Dave Berg—this 1996 issue offers a clever, bite-sized critique of human behavior. The cover, by Mort Drucker, captures the tone with a classic, exaggerated flair.
In "The Lighter Side of…," a series of sharp, absurd vignettes skewers everyday absurdities—from the singles scene to therapy sessions, office politics to wills—each a quick, clever jab at the rituals and pretensions of modern life. With no writer or artist credited beyond typeset letters, the humor lands with deadpan precision, turning the mundane into a parade of perfectly timed punchlines.
