In "Mad Goes on the Set of the Next 'Jerky Chan' Movie," Dave Berg takes a sharp, satirical dive into the chaos of modern life, from office absurdities to the surreal pressures of fame, all wrapped in the signature wit of the legendary Mad magazine. With his unmistakable art and writing, Berg skewers everything from therapy sessions to dinner parties, delivering a laugh-filled yet oddly reflective look at what it means to grow up—on set or off. The cover, a collaborative effort by Mark Fredrickson and Angelo Torres, captures the movie-mad madness in vibrant, exaggerated style.

In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #362, a sharp, typeset lettering frames a wry, four-page take on modern life’s absurdities—where even therapy sessions and office politics get a satirical spin. From dinner disasters to the quiet chaos of daily routines, it’s a sardonic stroll through the small, shared struggles of being grown-up.
