Crazy Magazine #21

Marvel's humor magazine "that dares to be dumb" delivers another round of sharp satire with Crazy #21 (1976). Bob Larkin's cover painting perfectly sets the irreverent tone: a skeleton slumped against an expired parking meter — its "30 Minutes" limit long past — while a stumpy, big-nosed cartoon figure in a hat and overcoat looks on, all under the deadpan banner "Social Relevance Strikes Again!" Inside, writer Len Herman and artist Murad Gümen bring their own absurdist sensibility to "Slobsky and Hunch," promising the kind of gleefully lowbrow comedy this magazine built its reputation on.
