In "Hokeycon," Dave Berg delivers a sharp, satirical take on modern life through a series of interconnected vignettes that skewer everything from office politics to therapy sessions, all wrapped in his signature deadpan wit. With every panel drawn and inked by Berg himself, the issue offers a tightly wound, observant look at the absurdities of daily routines and societal expectations. James Warhola’s cover captures the tone perfectly, a visual punchline that sets the stage for the whole comic.

In "The Lighter Side of…" from Mad #386, a sharp, satirical glance at modern life unfolds through a series of wry, self-aware vignettes—each poking fun at the absurdities of everyday routines, from office politics to therapy sessions, dining out to the daily grind of being human. With no named creators beyond the typeset letters, the humor lands with a dry, perfectly timed punch, turning the mundane into a mirror held up to our quirks and contradictions.
