Crazy Magazine #71

Marvel's humor magazine that proudly dares to be dumb wraps up some holiday mischief in this February 1981 issue, where the entire cover is dressed as a gift — green ribbon, big shiny bow, and all — with festive wrapping paper crawling with cartoon elves and clowns causing chaotic yuletide havoc. A small card tucked beside the bow reads "Season's Cretins! From The Nebbish," setting the tongue-in-cheek tone perfectly. Bob Larkin's cover art delivers a genuinely fun seasonal gag, and inside, Jack Sparling handles writing, pencils, and inks on "Figure of Speech-Figurin'!" — a one-person creative effort that promises plenty of absurd wordplay.
