"Christmas Carols for Dysfunctional Families" is a sharp, satirical take from Dave Berg, whose writing and art bring his signature wit to a holiday tale packed with office tensions, family squabbles, and the quiet absurdity of modern life. The cover by Joe DeVito and Rick Tulka captures the story’s offbeat charm, all in a 2.50 USD comic from 1998.

In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #365, a whirlwind of absurdity tackles everything from office politics to therapy sessions, all through the magazine’s signature satirical lens. With no writer or artist credited beyond typeset letters, the humor lands with a perfectly deadpan punch, skewering modern life’s little absurdities—like the weight of commitment or the dread of a doctor’s visit—without ever missing a beat.
