Cracked #270

Cracked's beloved mascot Sylvester P. Smythe crashes the party in this 1992 issue, perched cheekily behind caricatures of the Beverly Hills, 90210 cast — two young men and a dark-haired young woman — while holding up a handwritten letter "To Our Readers" as the magazine riffs on the hit TV phenomenon with its signature parody, "Barferly Hills-911." John Severin handles both pencils and inks on the cover, delivering his reliably sharp caricature work alongside Smythe's wide-eyed grin. Inside, Lou Silverstone and Severin also team up on the story, and the issue promises additional humor with features spotlighting Van Damme, Don Martin, and "Spies 'N' Sabs.
