Mad #21

In "Poopeye!", Harvey Kurtzman and Bill Elder deliver a delightfully absurd parody of mid-20th-century advertising culture, skewering everything from dubious self-improvement schemes to laughably over-the-top products. With Harvey Kurtzman’s sharp satire and Bill Elder’s wild, expressive art—inked by Elder himself and colored by Marie Severin—this 1955 EC classic turns mundane ads into surreal, laugh-out-loud absurdities, all framed by Kurtzman’s own bold cover art.
