Dave Berg — Back From Vacation

“The Lighter Side of…,” Mad #305, September 1991

Dave Berg loved to draw his friends, neighbors and colleagues into his Mad Magazine “Lighter Side”  series. On this great strip, Mad Publisher William (Bill) Gaines and other staffers get the full Berg treatment. I love this.

Mad staffers here are — 

Leftside, front to back:

Lenny Brenner, Tom Nozkowski, Charlie Kadau, Joe Raiola

Rightside, front to back:

Nick Meglin, John Ficarra, Sarah Friedman, Andrew Schwartzberg

(Thanks to my pals Joey Cavalieri and Charlie Kochman for filling in the names of folks I didn’t know.)
