More Trash from Mad #2

Dec 1959 · EC · 0.50 USD
“I Never Carry More Than $50 in Cash”

In "I Never Carry More Than $50 in Cash," Joe Orlando’s sharp, satirical art brings to life a series of absurdly detailed fake product labels—complete with mock branding and misleading packaging—turning everyday groceries and household staples into a comedic parade of corporate parody. From Bumble Bee Tuna to Corona Cigars, the issue’s visual wit lies in its deadpan imitation of real labels, all drawn with Orlando’s crisp precision and inked with the same meticulous flair. The cover, by Kelly Freas, captures the same tongue-in-cheek spirit with its striking, stylized design.
