As you may or may not recall, the bathroom readin’ basket at the Splotchy house typically contains stale celebrity magazines.
Along with these magazines are a few Mad Magazines from the early 70’s that I picked up at a thrift store a few years back.
I’ve been perusing the Mad Magazines more than the celeb rags lately, and am constantly confronted by the wit of Dave Berg, who had a long-running feature called “The Lighter Side Of…” In each issue Berg would explore a particular topic, to which he would devote several pages of three- and four-panel strips.
So, here’s my tribute to Dave Berg. Only the last word balloon has been changed on his original strips. Click on a strip to view a larger image.
And now, I humbly present:
I bow down to you.
That was effing brilliant.
I learned what anxiety was by reading “The Lighter Side.” And for a while I thought that my Dad was Roger Kaputnik.
To quote Linc from The Mod Squad: “Solid.”
PURE GREATNESS.
