Friday Fun CRACKED and CRAZY BiCentennial Features

MAD is Easily the Most Famous of the b/w Comic Parody Magazines...

...but there were others who were no slouches when it came to satire and parody, starting with this never-reprinted feature from Marvel's Crazy #19 (1976)...




Written by Michael Pellowski and illustrated by Tony Tallarico.
Now, let's look at the other major MAD competitor, with this three-pager written and illustrated by Don Orehek from Major Magazines' Cracked #137 (1976)...



Finally, another Cracked feature, this one from #136 (1976) by writer/artist Su Gumen which demonstrates how "media bias" works!



Hope you liked these 49 year-old flashbacks to the Bicentennial!
And I pray America's still around for her 250th Birthday next year!

Friday Holiday Fun WEB OF HORROR "Santa's Claws"

As shown in the new movie Violent Night...
...besides traversing the Earth on Christmas Eve distributing gifts, Kris Kringle protects the innocent from threats both real and imagined!.
Story and art for this tale from Major Magazines' Web of Horror #3 (1970) were by Frank Brunner, who would go on to fame and artistic success in sf/fantasy including acclaimed runs on the comics Dr Strange and Man-Thing, and the 1990s X-Men animated series.
BTW, the spider-like host of the book was named (what else?) "Webster"!
