“If Celebrities Ran for Public Office”

In "If Celebrities Ran for Public Office," EC’s Mad #90 skewers political theater with a satirical take on celebrity influence, wrapping it in a parody of 1960s grooming ads. The issue features a delightfully absurd premise where Blecch Shampoo promises teenage boys the same charm as Ringo Starr—complete with Frank Frazetta’s bold, expressive artwork in every panel. The cover, by Norman Mingo, delivers the same sharp, comedic tone with its exaggerated, ad-inspired design.
