In "The Incredible Hanson Story, From Start to Finish!", Dave Berg delivers a sharp, satirical take on everyday absurdities, weaving together themes of justice, prejudice, and the quirks of modern life—from fire stations to office politics—with his signature deadpan wit. A masterclass in observational humor, this 1999 issue from Mad #377 is a standout example of Berg’s singular voice, illustrated and inked with the same precise, dryly ironic flair that defined his work.

In "The Lighter Side of…," a wry, typeset lettering style underscores a sharp, satirical take on everyday absurdities—from the hypocrisy of justice to the chaos of office life—woven through a series of vignettes that skewer everything from wedding rituals to calorie counting, all with a dry, deadpan wit that finds humor in the universal frustrations of modern life.
