"Mil-lemon-ium" is a sharp, satirical gem from Dave Berg, who wrote, drew, and inked this 1997 Mad issue with his signature deadpan wit. Through a series of absurdist vignettes, it skewers modern absurdities—from office politics to therapy sessions and lottery dreams—using the magazine’s trademark blend of irony and observational humor. The cover, a collaborative effort by Drew Friedman and Sergio Aragonés, perfectly captures the issue’s sardonic tone.

In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #358, a deadpan satire unfolds across four pages, skewering modern absurdities with sharp, typeset precision. From office politics to therapy sessions, lottery dreams to the quirks of justice, it finds humor in the everyday contradictions of trying to be thoughtful in a world that rewards the opposite.
