Mad #391

"7th Heaving" is a sharp, wry exploration of modern life’s little injustices and quiet reckonings, all wrapped in the signature wit of Dave Berg, who wrote, drew, and inked this Mad #391 installment. With a sardonic eye on office dynamics, personal boundaries, and the absurdity of everyday rituals, the story delivers a perfectly calibrated dose of satire—sharp enough to sting, but never losing its dry, self-aware charm. The cover, by Richard Williams, captures the issue’s mood in a single, telling image.
