Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #35

In a sharp satire of *All the President's Men*, two bumbling reporters follow a trail of absurd clues that somehow lead straight to the highest office—where the real scandal might just be the sheer incompetence of the entire administration. Written with deadpan wit and drawn in Mad’s signature over-the-top style, this seven-page parody skewers political intrigue with a laugh, not a scream.

In "Whatever Became of...?", Mad Special #35 (1981), a lineup of random celebrities is subjected to a hilarious twenty-year time warp, their photos digitally aged with deadpan captions detailing their imagined lives in the distant future. From unexpected careers to bizarre hobbies, each entry delivers a sharp, absurd twist on what might have become of these familiar faces.
