SPY VS. SPY

Spy vs. Spy is a wordless comic strip first published in Mad magazine in 1961. It features two agents involved in stereotypical and comical espionage activities. One is dressed in white, and the other in black, but they are otherwise identical. The pair are always at war with each other, using a variety of booby-traps to inflict harm and they usually alternate between victory and defeat with each new strip. A parody of the political ideologies of the Cold War, the strip was created by Cuban expatriate cartoonist Antonio Prohias. The Spy vs. Spy characters have been featured in video games, television series, action figures, trading cards and more.
