☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMad #522 hits summer right where it hurts — Alfred E. Neuman is gleefully riding a water park slide, completely unfazed as his two fellow riders react with wide-eyed horror at the, shall we say, warm stream flowing beneath him. Sergio Aragonés brings his signature manic energy to both the central gag and the densely packed water park chaos filling the background, packed with tiny figures in true Aragonés fashion. A wonderfully gross slice of summer 2013 humor from "America's #1 Humor Magazine.
