More Trash from Mad #3
In "Comic Strip Heroes (Taken From Real Life)," Tom Koch and Wally Wood deliver a sharp, satirical take on the absurdity of children's media, imagining wildly exaggerated kid-friendly versions of real magazines like *Junior Confessions* and *Sports Infantile*. With Norman Mingo’s deadpan cover art capturing the tone perfectly, this 1960 EC gem skewers the idea of infantilized content with a wit that’s as clever as it is unapologetically silly.
