Slob-Proofing Your Home," Antonio Prohías delivers his signature satirical chaos as the Black Spy sends a frantic S.O.S., sparking a high-stakes game of deception and gadgetry. With Prohías handling writing, art, and inks, this 1994 Mad Special #97 blends absurd humor and sharp wit, all anchored in a surreal spy farce where every trap is a punchline. The cover, also by Prohías, captures the manic energy of the issue with its exaggerated, deadpan style.
In this absurdly clever one-pager from Mad Special #97, the Black Spy sends a frantic S.O.S., only to lure the White Spy into a trap—his raft a decoy for a hidden vessel that shoots down the White Spy’s plane with deadpan precision. A perfect blend of spy satire and slapstick, it’s a classic Mad twist on the classic cat-and-mouse game.
In this playful parody from Mad Special #97, two secret agents trade spy gadgets for tennis rackets, faking their way through Hong Kong as pros in a high-stakes game—only to go on the hunt for a missing atomic scientist with a side gig as a swimsuit model. With deadpan wit and absurd twists, the story turns espionage into a sport, one serve at a time.
