Cracked Is Back

Posted by Hubris

cracked.jpgVia Jim Treacher.

I know it's hard to believe, but I wasn't always the devil-may-care rebel that I am today. I was once a sober and responsible child, destined to enter the world of investment banking and aid in the fortification of traditional social mores.

Then, one fateful day, instead of giving my hard-earned two bits to the local soda jerk, I splurged on a glossy copy of Cracked. I was never the same.

As Jim indicates, Jay Pinkerton's* involvement is a great sign.

*I'm eternally grateful to Ilyka for formally introducing me to the joy of Pinkerton.

I read Marvel's "Crazy Magazine" with Obnoxo the Clown as a kid. Mad as a back-up. Cracked?

Well, Cracked was for pussies.

Mad was for preppies, dude.

You can try to put me down just because I'm from the wrong side of the tracks, but someday my tomboy friend will reveal her secret crush on me, and my new punk friends will totally scare you.

I read Mad before I was a preppie.

Great mad moment: The near perfect rendition of an acid trip, which, of course, appeared long after i whould have been reading this mag. thge set-up was qa dieary kept to inform the reader about this new drug and its effects. Perfect final line, after going up and coming down:

"Everything's back to norbal."

I'm eternally grateful

Oh, yeah? Talk is cheap, pal--now put your money where your mouth is and clothe me.

Hahaha. But wouldn't involving something mundane like "money" sully the purity of my gratitude? Because right now, it shines with the unfiltered light of a thousand suns.

Oh man, I totally want one of these.

You can't go wrong with Willem Dafoe. And ladies love GUHHHHN FINGAS!

I was tempted by the "Brap-bap" line, but explaining that one would be such a bitch.

"What's 'Brap-bap-bap-bapp' mean?"

"Oh, it doesn't mean anything--that's just the sound Fred Savage's sister's pussy makes."

Best onomatopoeia ever.
