Mad Clowns Around #48
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Lover's Story," a satirical take on the film Love Story, a wealthy college boy finds romance with a woman from a different background, navigating class tensions and heartfelt moments in a tale both tender and absurd. Written by Larry Siegel and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Mort Drucker, the story unfolds with the kind of over-the-top emotion only a Mad magazine parody can deliver. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the drama in bold, exaggerated style.
In a satirical twist on the tragic romance of "Love Story," a wealthy college boy finds himself drawn to an ethnic girl beneath his social standing, navigating the usual parental resistance—only this time, the whole affair is played for laughs, with a death that's as dramatically delivered as it is absurdly over-the-top.
In "Messy's Thanksgiving Day Parade," the absurd spectacle of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade gets turned upside down—complete with wobbly floats, surreal balloons, and the chaotic energy of crowds and TV crews all caught in the same ridiculous swirl. Written with sharp, satirical flair, the story captures the over-the-top frenzy of the event, from the audience’s wild reactions to the network’s frantic commentary, all seen through the lens of a world where the parade itself is the punchline.
