In "The Fortune Teller," a mysterious seer offers cryptic readings that twist familiar poems into eerie, unexpected visions—each verse from "The Seven Ages of Man" to "Gunga Din" reimagined with a haunting twist. Written by David Allikas and brought to life with moody, expressive art by Gary Kwapisz, this issue blends classic literary flair with surreal humor. The cover, a striking portrait by Bob Larkin, captures the enigmatic aura of the fortune teller’s world.

A delightfully absurd take on literary classics, this two-page satire in *Crazy Magazine* #81 reimagines famous poems—like "The Seven Ages of Man," "Casey at the Bat," and "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"—as punchy, rhyming limericks. With a sharp eye for parody and a love of classic verse, the story distills epic poems into clever, irreverent twists, all in the spirit of 1981’s irreverent humor.

In this sharp satire from *Crazy Magazine* #81, the familiar antics of *M*A*S*H* get a wild reimagining—transplanted to the Vietnam War with all the chaos, absurdity, and dark humor intact. Set in a makeshift field hospital where the stakes are higher and the jokes are even more outlandish, the story skewers both military bureaucracy and the TV show’s formula with gleeful irreverence.
