Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #47
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Scenes We'd Like to See" is a sharp, satirical take on dystopian mind-control tropes, presented in Mad Special #47 — a 1984 comic where a sadistic youth faces a bizarre, authoritarian rehabilitation. Written by Stan Hart and illustrated with biting precision by George Woodbridge, the story unfolds with the kind of absurd logic only Mad could deliver. The cover, by Bob Clarke, captures the tone with a perfectly grotesque flourish.
In this hilarious 1984 parody from *Mad Special* #47, two bumbling, over-the-top detectives named Harsky and Stutch take on the streets of Los Angeles with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball—wreaking chaos in a satirical take on the classic cop duo *Starsky and Hutch*. The story's absurd antics and sharp wit shine through, all delivered in Mad’s signature style.
In a satirical twist on *A Clockwork Orange*, a mischievous youth with a penchant for chaos finds himself on the wrong side of the law—only to be subjected to a bizarre, government-run "rehabilitation" that turns his rebellious spirit into something far more unsettling. Written with Mad’s signature irreverence and rendered in sharp, exaggerated style, "A Crockwork Lemon" turns the classic dystopian trope on its head with absurdity and a dash of dark humor.
