"Meet The New Staff of MAD" offers a delightfully absurd take on art history, reimagining masterpieces like David and The Milkmaid through the primate lens of the Museum of Monkey Art (MOMA). With a playful Winter/Spring Catalogue format, this issue features satirical takes on famous works—complete with titles like Gorilla With A Pearl Earring and Whistler's Monkey—all illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Hermann Mejia, Roberto Parada, James Warhola, and Richard Williams. The cover, by Irving Schild and Jack Syracuse, captures the zany spirit with its own monkey-infused twist.

In this playful satire from Mad #488, the Museum Of Monkey Art (MOMA) unveils its Winter/Spring Catalogue, reimagining iconic masterpieces through the whimsical lens of primates. From Monkeyangelo’s *David* to Banannas Vermeer’s *Gorilla With A Pearl Earring*, each piece parodies a famous work with apes in human roles, all presented in deadpan, typeset lettering that sells the absurdity with straight-faced precision.
