"Grossbusters II" delivers another sharp, satirical skewering from Dave Berg, who writes, draws, and inks this 1995 Mad Special with his signature deadpan wit. Cover by Norman Mingo captures the issue’s irreverent tone, as the story hilariously dissects everyday absurdities—from in-laws and babysitting to washing machines and doctors—through a lens of perfectly timed irony.
