In "Would Columbus Have Discovered America?", a priest attempts to talk a man off a building ledge, only to find himself drawn into an escalating spiral of personal crises—each more absurd than the last. Written, drawn, and inked by Bill Ward, this surreal satire from Cracked #64 (1967) turns a moment of tension into a darkly comic meditation on family, responsibility, and the unexpected paths life can take. The cover by John Severin captures the absurd gravity of the scene with sharp, expressive detail.

In "The Jumper," a priest attempts to talk a man off a building ledge, only to find himself drawn into the man’s woes—soon, the priest, the man’s wife, and even his mother-in-law are all standing on the edge, united by a crisis of domestic proportions. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this one-page satire from Cracked #64 (1967) delivers a perfectly absurd twist on the classic rescue scenario.
