Crazy Magazine #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Watergate Parade" is a satirical comic strip in Crazy Magazine #8 (1974) that parodies classic Saturday morning cartoons, riffing on shows like Wheelie & The Chopper Bunch, Land Of The Lost, These Are The Days, The Partridge Family 2200 A.D., Devlin, and Hong Kong Phooey. Written by Lance Boyle and illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Bert Forrest, Mordecai Inglefeld, Willie Ito, William Stout, Igor Vorpuzzi, and Richard Stanley—with inking and lettering contributions from the same—this issue offers a sharp, playful take on 1970s kids’ TV. The cover, by Nick Cardy, captures the zany spirit of the parody with bold, stylized artwork.
In "Kaspar the Dead Baby," a ghostly toddler named Kaspar recounts his untimely demise during a violent family squabble to the skeptical Windy. With a mix of dark humor and deadpan delivery, Windy offers a surprisingly practical — if bizarre — plan for Kaspar to settle the score with his neglectful father.
In "Saturday Morning TV," a chaotic collage of 1970s cartoon tropes collides in a delightfully absurd parody, skewering the era’s most over-the-top kids’ shows with a wink and a smirk. From the zany antics of Wheelie & The Chopper Bunch to the futuristic fumbles of The Partridge Family 2200 A.D., the story channels the spirit of Saturday morning madness—complete with bizarre villains, implausible plots, and just enough camp to make you question if you’ve wandered into a dream.
