Sing along with Mad #P4425

"My Square Lester" is a standout in the Mad magazine tradition, blending sharp satire with the absurdity of mob life. Written by Frank Jacobs and brought to life with Al Jaffee’s signature art and inks, this 1970 story follows Louie Lasagna’s ill-fated return to crime after fifteen years behind bars—only to be double-crossed by a slick, corporate-style gang led by J. B. Tortoni. A 60-cent comic in 1970, it’s a classic example of Mad’s wit, with a twist that redefines what it means to be “square.”
