Mad #496
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Fundalini Pages," Peter Kuper delivers a sharp, surreal twist on the classic spy rivalry in two self-contained cartoons that turn espionage into absurdist theater. With his signature blend of deadpan humor and visual wit, Kuper draws the Black and White Spies in a battle of wits that’s as clever as it is ridiculous—each outmaneuvering the other with increasingly absurd traps and deceptions. The cover by Mark Fredrickson captures the same dry, satirical tone, making this a standout issue in the Mad tradition.
In this classic two-page satire from Mad #496, the age-old rivalry between the Black Spy and White Spy escalates with a clever trap and a perfectly timed deception. The Black Spy sets a cunning ambush, only to be outmaneuvered in a twist that flips the script with a fake rocket and a smirk.
