In "The Last Word on Jurass-Has-Had-It Park," Dave Berg delivers his signature satirical take on modern life, skewering everything from office politics to awkward dates, therapy sessions to car repairs, all through a series of sharp, self-contained gags. With his trademark wit and clean, precise art, Berg examines the absurdities of everyday routines, while Sam Viviano’s cover captures the issue’s playful cynicism in bold, expressive lines.

In "The Lighter Side of...", Jo navigates a series of absurdly mundane modern dilemmas—from office politics to awkward makeouts—with a deadpan wit that turns everyday frustrations into laugh-out-loud moments. A sharp, typeset satire that skewers the rituals of daily life with zero pretense and maximum irony.
