Mad #47
"On the Job" delivers a sharp, satirical take on the advertising world in a parody of *Madmen*, spotlighting the chaotic lives of an ad agency team as they land high-profile clients from the early 1960s—businesses whose fates would soon spiral into collapse. Written by Arnie Kogen and brought to life with bold, consistent art by Tom Richmond, the issue blends biting humor with a wry eye for corporate irony. The cover by Peter Kuper captures the era’s sleek aesthetic with a touch of dark comedy.
