Mad #398
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Perfect Snore," Dave Berg delivers his signature satirical wit to a whirlwind tour of modern life’s absurdities—from family dinners to therapy sessions, office politics to the search for love—all filtered through his acerbic, insightful lens. With art and inks by Berg himself, and a cover by James Bennett, this 2000 issue of Mad captures the quirks of everyday existence with sharp humor and a perfectly timed snore.
In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #398, a sharp, typeset lettering style underscores a wry, four-page riff on everyday absurdities—ranging from the quirks of family dinners to the baffling logic of office life, all filtered through Mad’s signature satirical lens. With no clear plot or resolution, the story leans into the humor of modern frustrations, turning justice, dating, therapy, and even dancing into a parade of perfectly observed, slightly off-kilter observations.
