Mad Follies #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "If Comic Strip Characters Behaved Like Ordinary People," Don Reilly and Wally Wood deliver a sharp, satirical take on mid-20th-century consumer culture, imagining what happens when iconic brands like RCA and MGM, or Mr. Clean and Old Dutch, are forced to merge into a single, absurd entity. The story’s clever premise unfolds through a series of surreal, deadpan vignettes, all rendered with Wally Wood’s precise, expressive art and Norman Mingo’s sharp, iconic cover.
In a delightfully absurd 1965 satire, "Trademarks Resulting from Future Mergers" imagines a world where corporate identities collide in the most whimsical ways—Sherwin-Williams and Dutch Boy Paint, RCA and MGM, Schweppes and White Rock, and a whole parade of familiar brands recombined into surreal new logos. With sharp wit and playful typography, the story turns everyday consumer icons into a visual comedy of mistaken identities, all rendered in crisp typeset letters.
