Mad Clowns Around

Larry Siegel and Mort Drucker, the legendary satirical duo from Mad magazine, brought their signature brand of parody to this one-shot from Warner Books. Mad Clowns Around (1978) is a single-issue comic that lampoons the world of circus clowns and related pop culture, packed with the kind of goofy, irreverent humor that made the pair icons of American comedy. It stands as a niche but delightful artifact of the late-70s humor-comics boom, showcasing Drucker’s expressive caricatures and Siegel’s sharp, silly writing in a format that feels like a lost Mad magazine feature.
