Mad #74
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Alfred's Poor Almanac," a hilariously bumbling doctor and his equally inept boss wreak comedic havoc in a bustling city hospital, all in a sharp satire of the popular Dr. Kildare TV series. Written by Lou Silverstone and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by Mort Drucker, this 1962 EC Comics gem delivers classic madcap humor with a side of medical mayhem. The cover, by Kelly Freas, perfectly captures the absurd tone with its exaggerated, eye-catching style.
In this sharp satire from Mad #74, a bumbling yet handsome doctor and his equally inept superior wreak havoc in a chaotic urban hospital, turning medical procedure into farce with every misstep. Written with the deadpan wit of the era and lettered in crisp typeset, the story skewers the dramatic tone of 1960s medical dramas with gleeful absurdity.
