Norsk Mad

Running since 2001 from Hjemmet/Egmont, Norsk Mad is a Norwegian comic anthology that adapts the irreverent, gag-driven spirit of MAD Magazine for a local audience. Spanning just six issues to date, the series is best known for its sharp satire of Norwegian pop culture and politics, delivered through a mix of parody, caricature, and absurdist humor. Its significance lies in demonstrating how a beloved international humor format can be successfully localized, offering a distinctly Scandinavian take on the magazine’s iconic style.
