Cracked #340

Cracked's December 1999 issue takes gleeful aim at Futurama, with Gary Fields's cover capturing the chaos perfectly: a hiccupping Bender clutching Duff Beer cans squares off against a red-haired George Jetson stand-in, while a one-eyed Leela-esque figure rides a chaotic hovercraft and a booze-swigging Astro-like dog looks on in bemusement. Inside, writer Greg Grabianski and artist John Severin (inked and colored with help from Atomic Paintbrush) deliver "Futuredrama," promising the magazine's signature brand of affectionate satirical mayhem. If you've got a soft spot for late-'90s animated sci-fi comedy — or just enjoy watching two beloved cartoon universes collide in the most ridiculous way possible — this one's a genuine treat.
