Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #11
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn a satirical take on classic family sitcoms, Starchie Bunker holds court in his cluttered home, dispensing his usual brand of stubborn opinions while waiting for his long-lost army buddy to arrive. With Gloriosky and Meek caught in the crossfire and the Meathead lurking nearby, the air is thick with absurdity and simmering tension.
In "Boredom-12," two Los Angeles police officers patrol their beat with zero interest in actual crime—unless it involves an attractive woman. Their priorities are hilariously skewed as they zip around the city, missing every other call while chasing the thrill of a pretty face.
"Hoo-Boy, Columbus!" is a sharp, wry satire that follows a well-meaning middle-class Jewish man navigating the awkward terrain of romance with an upper-class Jewish woman, only to face subtle but cutting class distinctions from her family. With deadpan humor and a touch of self-aware irony, the story skewers social pretensions through a series of increasingly absurd encounters.
