Mad #382
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "NYPD Re-Do," Dave Berg crafts a sharp, satirical take on bureaucracy and personal ambition, weaving together the everyday absurdities of office life, the pressures of advancement, and the strange rituals of modern existence—where even therapy and preschool seem to blur into the routine of a city that never stops running. With his signature wit and precise line work, Berg draws a world where justice, attitude, and the occasional cigarette are all part of the same tangled system, all rendered in crisp, deadpan style by Mark Stutzman on the cover.
In "The Lighter Side of…," a wry, typeset letterer crafts a sharp, absurd take on everyday absurdities—ranging from office politics to preschool antics, therapy sessions to smoking breaks—where each panel skewers a different facet of modern life with deadpan humor. It’s a compact, sardonic tour through the quirks of routine, where justice, advancement, and even crime get a laughably unimpressed glance.
