the lighter side of the 'school night'


here's a snippet from the wonderful dave berg, featured in the legendary MAD magazine. i can't say enough about dave berg and the hours of levity i enjoyed reading and re-reading... and re-reading the 'lighter side of...' strips. his attention to detail, particularly his rendering of interiors like bedrooms and living rooms, etc., just rang so cunning and true to life. i loved his use of fine lines and well-planted visual jokes. anyway, this strip just underscores a phenomena of adult life that i believe has yet to get old; even 18 solid years since graduation. seek out vintage MAD's... they're so worth it. (try comic book shops.) ...and click-to-enlarge.
