Mad #394

In "The Malpractice," Monroe’s foreign exchange dream takes a dark turn when he’s sent to China and thrust into grueling labor, while back home his mother is mysteriously thriving—literally living the high life with Hung Lo, the very student who replaced him. Written by Anthony Barbieri and illustrated by Bill Wray, this issue blends surreal humor with sharp social satire, all wrapped in a cover by Richard Williams that captures the story’s off-kilter tone.
