Cracked #99
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Will-Odd," former political figure Nixon takes an unexpectedly chaotic turn, venturing into a series of wildly unrelated odd jobs—from weather reporting to plumbing—each more absurd than the last. Drawn with sharp, satirical flair by John Severin, whose distinctive pencils and inks define the entire issue, this Cracked #99 tale offers a surreal, offbeat look at one man’s ill-fated attempt to reinvent himself in 1972. The cover, also by Severin, captures the moment with his signature blend of wit and precision.
In "Nixon's Next Job," the former president trades the Oval Office for a series of wildly mismatched civilian gigs—ranging from weather forecasting to chimney sweeping—each more absurd than the last, as he attempts to reinvent himself in the public eye. The story’s sharp satire unfolds in just two pages, capturing a surreal glimpse of a man out of his element, all delivered with the deadpan wit of Cracked’s signature humor.
Hudd and Dini make a break for freedom, only to find their escape derailed by a fake swimming pool—just a tarp stretched over an empty concrete hole. The guard, waiting with a smirk, isn’t surprised at all.
