“Merlin Calling... Collect!”

In "Merlin Calling... Collect!", a man journeys to the high lama in the mountains, hoping to learn the secrets of a long and happy life—only to discover that silence might be the hardest lesson of all. Written by Tom J. Bacas and illustrated by Éric Cartier, this 1986 installment of Cracked blends wry humor with a quietly absurd twist, all wrapped in a cover by John Severin that captures the moment with deadpan precision.
