Cracked #76
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "When Other TV Shows Copy the Rowan & Martin Comedy Format," Hudd and Dini make a wild escape from prison—only to stumble headfirst into a cleverly painted wall that tricks them into knocking themselves out. Written, drawn, and inked by Vic Martin, this 1969 satire from Major Publications delivers its punch with a perfectly timed visual gag. The cover, by John Severin, captures the absurdity in bold, expressive lines.
In "Tunneling into Painting," Hudd and Dini make a break for freedom by digging their way out of prison—only to crash headfirst into a painted wall that mimics a landscape, leaving them sprawled unconscious. The story’s deadpan humor shines in its absurd twist, turning a classic escape trope into a punchline painted on the wall.
