"Dudson’s Geeks" delivers a sharp, satirical take on modern life through the lens of a single, oddly specific workplace dynamic. Written and drawn by Dave Berg, this Mad issue blends biting commentary on everything from office culture to therapy and technology with the signature wit the magazine is known for. The cover by C. F. Payne captures the tone perfectly, a visual punchline to a story that’s as thought-provoking as it is absurd.
