Mad Special [Mad Super Special] #9

In this satirical take on *Camelot*, the president of a canned wax fruit company navigates office intrigue and marital chaos, all set to the absurd rhythms of a musical farce. With sharp wit and over-the-top melodrama, the story turns corporate boardrooms and backyard betrayals into a spectacle of misplaced loyalty and sticky situations.

In "Bridge Trap," the White Spy lures the Black Spy’s tank across a seemingly innocent bridge—only to trigger a trap as the planks roll up behind him, leaving the tank perilously balanced on the edge. The absurdity unfolds in a single, perfectly timed page of classic Mad humor.

In this hilarious 1972 parody from Mad Special #9, three misfit runaways—Jo, Dolly, and Tiny—are recruited by the police to go undercover in a series of absurdly ridiculous missions, all while spoofing the style and tone of "The Mod Squad." Written with sharp satire and drawn with Mad’s signature deadpan flair, the story turns detective work into a farce, where the only thing more outlandish than the cases is the trio’s complete lack of competence.

In "Plunger on the Window," a classic Mad comic gag from 1972, the Black Spy pulls off a delightfully absurd prank by attaching a plunger to the inside of the White Spy’s window and connecting it to a hose, making it look like rain is pouring through the glass. When the White Spy tries to close the window, the plunger handle comes down with it—right on his head.
