Cracked

    (Globe, 1958-2002)
™ and ©1998 Globe Communications Corp.

Not long after Mad paved the way for an irreverent humor magazine, a host of imitators appeared. Although comics like Eh!, Nuts, and Whack are long gone, Cracked has held on for over forty years.

Perhaps the main reason for its success is that Cracked captures the true essence of Mad more effectively than its ham-handed competition. Cracked doesn’t talk down to its readers, and its parodies—although often outrageous—speak of a sharp wit, with a decidedly naughty bent. Although it never became the cultural icon that Mad is, Cracked remains a schoolyard favorite, and a source of amusement for kids of all ages.
