Written and illustrated by Dave Berg in his signature deadpan style, this Mad #406 installment skewers everything from office culture to air travel with biting wit. The cover by James Bennett captures the issue’s darkly comedic tone with a perfectly unsettling image.
In "The Lighter Side of..." from Mad #406, a sharp, typeset satire takes aim at the absurdities of everyday life—from the futility of justice to the mysteries of office politics, gas station rituals, and the strange rituals of therapy and dating. With deadpan humor and a wink, it skewers the little things we all pretend to take seriously.
