Opis

This is Part 2!"No one was ever a fan of Cracked. We would buy Mad every month, but about two weeks later we would get anxious for new material. We would tell ourselves, OK, we are not going to buy Cracked. Never again! And wed hold out for a while, but then as the month dragged on it just became, OK, I guess Ill buy Cracked. Then youd bring it home, and immediately youd remember, Oh yeah, I hate Cracked!"- Dan Clowes, former Cracked artist and Oscar®-nominated writer "Are you kidding? Was Cracked anyones first choice?"- Peter Bagge, former Cracked writer and Hate creator "If you go back and look at Cracked, theyre not that funny. I was eight years old and I would read Cracked and didnt think it was that funny, but there was something about it that I kind of liked. I just enjoyed it, but I never thought it was that funny."- Barry Dutter, former Cracked writer For over 40 years CRACKED was the best-selling humor magazine in the world... if you dont count MAD!
