Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #56
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Undressed to Kill," Mad Special #56 (1986), classic nursery rhymes get a gloriously absurd twist as Frank Jacobs turns familiar verses into a series of surreal, satirical sketches. Paul Coker Jr. brings the madness to life with his sharp, exaggerated art, while Richard Williams' cover delivers a perfectly bizarre preview of the chaos within.
In this playful parody from Mad Special #56, classic nursery rhymes get a sharp, satirical twist as Mother Goose trades innocence for career ambition—Mary’s LTD isn’t just a car, Jack and Jill are climbing the corporate ladder, and Taffy’s a hitman with a side hustle. With clever wordplay and deadpan humor, the story reimagines beloved verses through a lens of office politics, suburban satire, and absurdity, all rendered in Mad’s signature style.
