☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers a selection of Dave Berg's signature 'The Lighter Side of...' cartoons from the pages of Mad magazine, showcasing his keen observational humor on everyday American life in the 1960s and 1970s. Berg's multi-panel strips, known for their relatable characters and gentle satire, cover topics from family dynamics and workplace foibles to suburban quirks and generational clashes. Published by Warner Books in 1979, this volume compiles some of the best-loved strips from Berg's long-running Mad feature.
In "Tube Be Or Not Tube Be," the Kaputniks arrive uninvited for a vacation, only to discover their friends have vanished—leaving behind a note that hints they’ve pulled the same trick on the Kaputniks. Written, drawn, and inked by Dave Berg, this 1979 satire captures the absurdity of mutual freeloading with sharp wit and classic Mad-style visuals, all rendered in Berg’s unmistakable hand on a cover also by him.
In "Home Is Where The Hurt Is," the Kaputniks arrive uninvited at their friends' vacation home, ready to lounge and mooch—only to discover the place is empty, with a note that their friends have vanished to do the exact same thing to them. A perfectly timed twist of irony unfolds in just four pages, delivered with the crisp, deadpan humor that defined Dave Berg’s classic satire.
