☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Spit City" is a sharp, satirical ride from writer-artist Dave Berg, blending everyday absurdities into a single, hilarious issue that skewers everything from office culture to telemarketing and the quirks of growing up. With his signature deadpan wit and crisp, expressive art, Berg turns mundane moments—like ordering a meal or facing therapy—into biting commentary, all wrapped in a cover by Richard Williams that perfectly captures the story’s offbeat tone.
In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #355, a satirical tour through everyday absurdities finds Jo navigating the ridiculousness of modern life—from office politics and telemarketing rants to the strange logic of therapy and the hypocrisy of public service ads. With sharp, typeset lettering adding to the humor, the story skewers everything from tobacco ads to popularity contests with a wink and a smirk.
