About this Collection

This collection presents the first story arc of the 1978 series Mad Overboard, a satirical comic strip starring the iconic Alfred E. Neuman. The volume follows the misadventures of the cheerful, gap-toothed mascot as he navigates a nautical-themed parody, capturing the irreverent humor of the Mad franchise. It compiles the opening installments of the series, offering a complete narrative in a single edition.

In "On a Clear Day You Can See a Funny Girl Singing 'Hello Dolly' Forever," a college student’s hypnotic session with a skeptical psychologist uncovers a surreal cinematic past—where she’s starred in endless Hollywood blockbusters, always playing the same role. Written by Frank Jacobs and brought to life with sharp, caricatured flair by artist Mort Drucker, this satirical gem blends surreal humor and cinematic parody. The cover, by Norman Mingo, captures the absurdity in bold, expressive lines.
