"In an Agent's Office" is a sharp, satirical take on authoritarian control and behavioral conditioning, set in a cold, bureaucratic world where a rebellious youth faces a bizarre psychological overhaul. Written by Stan Hart and brought to life with crisp, expressive art by George Woodbridge, the story channels the unsettling tone of its inspiration with a uniquely Mad twist. The cover, a chaotic blend of Don Martin’s and Norman Mingo’s signature styles, captures the absurdity with perfect, anarchic flair.

In a sharp satire of *A Clockwork Orange*, a delinquent teen with a taste for chaos is arrested and forced into a bizarre, state-run program designed to "reform" him—only this time, the punishment is as absurd as the crime. Written with Mad’s signature irreverence and illustrated with deadpan exaggeration, "A Crockwork Lemon" turns dystopian horror into a laughable farce, where the real menace might just be the system itself.
