Back in the day, I always had a preference for “Cracked” over “Mad,” and it was primarily due to Severin’s art, which I always loved.
John Severin started at Mad (back when it was a comic book).
And Cracked is around today as a website (like the Onion) but it is far ruder than before (not safe for work, adult in content, pictures, and language). Also uber liberal in politics of at least some of the bloggers there.
