Spy Vs. Spy
Black SpyWhite Spy
In this classic two-page gag from Mad #499, the never-ending rivalry between the White Spy and Black Spy reaches absurd new heights. First, the White Spy thinks he’s pulled off a daring jailbreak—only to be beheaded by his own trap. Then, the Black Spy meets an equally ridiculous fate, felled by a trick diving board in a moment of pure, slapstick sabotage.
