This is a double-page spread I did a few years ago before the last election when Cracked magazine was still a magazine and still funny. I ended up doing a handful of assignments for them and was in the very last published issue. I was always a fan of Cracked growing up and I miss seeing John Severin's work. It's too bad humor magazines don't really exist anymore. National Lampoon, SPY, Cracked, Crazy, Sick, Help, Plop!, Nuts, and others just can't seem to compete for today's entertainment dollar. It seems many of them have either closed up shop or like Nat Lamp, Cracked (which completely changed it's format) and now The Onion have gone to the internet. MAD seems to be the sole survivor as a humor magazine.
