“Mad Looks at What's on the Back of Your Ticket”

In "Mad Looks at What's on the Back of Your Ticket," Dave Berg delivers his signature satirical take on everyday life, skewering everything from school and therapy to air travel and office politics with his trademark deadpan wit. A sharp, wry commentary on modern absurdities, this 1999 issue is a must-read for fans of Berg’s timeless humor, with all art by the legendary writer himself. The cover, by Scott Bricher, perfectly captures the issue’s sardonic spirit.
