☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Kharma & Dreg," Dave Berg delivers a sharp, satirical dive into the quirks and contradictions of modern life—from office politics to bedtime stories, therapy to real estate—through the lens of two characters navigating a world obsessed with trends, self-improvement, and the illusion of control. With his signature wit and observational precision, Berg draws a world where even the most mundane routines feel like battlegrounds, all rendered in his unmistakable style. The cover, a striking portrait by Drew Struzan, captures the story’s sardonic tone with a touch of surreal flair.
In "The Lighter Side of…" from Mad #379, a sharp, satirical eye roams across everyday obsessions—from therapy sessions to bedtime stories, office politics to real estate dreams—delivering a wry, typeset riff on modern life’s little absurdities. With no heroes, no grand stakes, just Jo’s dry take on the rituals we all pretend to take seriously, it’s humor that’s clever without trying too hard.
