In this absurdly clever one-pager from Mad Special #33, the White Spy’s attempt to use a club on a string backfires in the most delightfully ridiculous way—when the Black Spy snaps the string, the club springs into action, sending the whole scheme tumbling into a perfectly timed, slapstick twist.

In this satirical take from Mad Special #33, Hollywood’s biggest hits—like *The Godfather* and *Jaws*—get the Broadway treatment, complete with show-stopping numbers and dramatic choreography.
