Cracked #217

This January 1986 issue of Cracked — "World's Humorest Funny Magazine" — features cover art by Aron Laikin showing the magazine's gap-toothed mascot perched atop a city rooftop, blasting a fire extinguisher skyward at a blazing Halley's Comet streaking overhead. The cover promises a packed lineup of parody targets including Rambo: First Blood, the Cosby Kids meeting the A-Team, and Robot Wars, plus a free Sylvester face mask and a giant poster. It's a cheerfully absurd snapshot of mid-'80s pop culture tackled with Cracked's signature anything-goes humor.
