Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #69

Jan 1989 · EC · 2.95 USD
“Framing Sequence”

In "Framing Sequence," Dave Berg delivers his signature blend of sardonic wit and keen social observation, skewering everything from the pretensions of wine connoisseurs to the absurdity of job interviews, all through a series of sharply drawn, deadpan vignettes. With his unmistakable art and writing style, Berg turns everyday frustrations—like dealing with a meddling pet or the anxiety of a dinner guest—into laugh-out-loud commentary on modern life. The cover, a delightfully twisted sketch by Al Jaffee, perfectly captures the issue’s irreverent spirit.
