Crazy Magazine #57

Marvel's humor magazine Crazy was never shy about mashing up pop culture, and issue #57 (December 1979) delivers a genuinely inspired two-panel gag right on the cover. Bob Larkin's art shows Miss Piggy planting a kiss ("SMEK!") on Kermit the Frog as the two drift in a rowboat — then, with a thunderous "POOF!," Kermit transforms not into a handsome prince but into a raging, crown-wearing Incredible Hulk, leaving Miss Piggy wide-eyed beside him. It's a wonderfully absurd fairy-tale twist that perfectly captures Crazy's self-proclaimed mission as "The Magazine That Dares to Be Dumb.
