Cracked #343

Jeff Wong's cover art captures pro wrestling's wild spectacle perfectly — a battered, glassy-eyed muscleman pinned against the ropes gets scrubbed down by a long-haired, masked figure brandishing a spray bottle and a sock puppet, with the headline "We Clean Up Wrestling!" setting the comedic tone beautifully. Cracked #343 from 2000 takes gleeful aim at the over-the-top world of professional wrestling, and the caricature work here is wonderfully exaggerated without losing any of the sport's unmistakable personality. Toss in a "We Frag Quake 3" corner tease and an interview with Mr. Socko, and this issue delivers a full slate of sharp, silly humor.
