Mad #35
"A Mad Look at Advertising" delivers a sharp, satirical take on the 1960s ad world, riffing on the tone of *Madmen* with a twist: the agency’s clients are iconic brands from the era that later collapsed. Written by Arnie Kogen and illustrated with precision by Tom Richmond—his inks adding punch to the period detail—this issue skewers corporate hubris with a wink. The cover by Scott Anderson captures the era’s sleek, smug aesthetic in full effect.
