The Lighter Side of... : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Lighter Side of... The Lighter Side of... was an American satirical comic strip series written and drawn by Dave Berg and published in Mad Magazine from 1961 to 2002. ==Concept==
"The Lighter Side of..." gently satirized everyday topics such as medicine, office life, parties, marriage, psychiatry, shopping, school,... Originally Berg would take an omnibus topic (such as "Noise," "Spectators" or "Dog Owners") and deliver approximately 15 short multi-panel cartoons on the subject. Later he just used various topics for each installment. The series had no recurring characters, except for the hypochondric patient Roger Kaputnik and his personal doctor, who typically concluded every monthly installment. Kaputnik was a self-caricature. Berg also caricatured his colleagues whenever he drew gags based around an office. Chief editor William M. Gaines' head was often seen mounted on a wall like a taxidermed moose's head. 〔http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/25/arts/dave-berg-81-wry-cartoonist-created-mad-s-lighter-side-strip.html〕 Compared to much of the other content in ''Mad Magazine'' the strip was notable for being more old-fashioned and less brutal in its style of comedy. The drawing style was also more realistic. Still, according to ''Mad'' 's editors "The Lighter Side" was the magazine's most popular feature. 〔https://www.lambiek.net/artists/b/berg_david.htm〕After Berg passed away the strip was retired.
