"A Mad Look at Jackass" delivers another sharp, satirical dive into modern absurdities from Dave Berg, whose signature wit and keen eye for irony cut through topics ranging from office life and therapy to gas stations and politics. With his unmistakable art and writing, Berg turns everyday frustrations into laugh-out-loud commentary, all framed by Richard Williams’ clever, deadpan cover.
