Cracked (magazine)

''Cracked'' was an American humor magazine. Founded in 1958, ''Cracked'' proved to be the most durable of the many publications to be launched in the wake of ''Mad'' magazine.〔(America's Only Humor & Video Site, Since 1958 ). Cracked.com.

In print, ''Cracked'' conspicuously copied ''Mad'''s layouts and style,〔http://m.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/article30898.ece?service=mobile〕〔http://www.avclub.com/articles/rip-john-severin-mad-magazine-and-cracked-artist,69367/〕〔Arnold, Mark, ''If You're Cracked, You're Happy'', BearManor Media, 2011〕〔http://books.google.com/books?id=hK0rPUF85loC&pg=PA99〕 and even featured a simpleminded, wide-cheeked mascot named Sylvester P. Smythe on its covers (see Alfred E. Neuman). The Smythe character was referred to as ''Cracked'''s janitor. Unlike Neuman, who appears primarily on covers, Smythe sometimes spoke and was frequently seen inside the magazine, interacting with parody subjects and other regular characters. A 1998 reader contest led to Smythe finally getting a full middle name: "Phooey." An article on Cracked.com, the companion website, joked that the magazine was "created as a knock-off of ''Mad'' magazine just over 50 years ago", and it "spent nearly half a century with a fan base primarily people who got to the store after ''Mad'' sold out."
''Cracked'''s publication frequency was reduced in the 1990s, and was erratic in the 2000s. In 2006, the magazine was revived with a new editorial formula that represented a significant departure from its prior ''Mad'' style. The new format was more akin to "lad" magazines like ''Maxim'' and ''FHM.'' The new formula, however, was unsuccessful and ''Cracked'' again canceled its print magazine in February 2007 after three issues. Later that year, the brand was carried over to a website, owned by Demand Media.

==Early staff==

The magazine's first editor was Sol Brodsky, who was better known as a journeyman artist and later production manager and a publishing vice president at Marvel Comics.
''Cracked'''s original publisher, Robert C. Sproul's Major Publications, often imitated other companies' successes in various genres, such as westerns, men's adventure, and the Warren Publications mid-1960s revival of horror comics.
Editor Terry Bisson later recalled, "The whole company was about lowball imitations. The publisher, Robert Sproul, wanted to put out some imitations of western, romance and astrology mags, and I was hired (at about age 27) to put them together because of my romance mag experience... The pseudomags did pretty well (this was a very low end market)."〔(Web of Horror Index ). Enjolrasworld.com (2008-09-15). Retrieved on 2010-11-26.〕 Many of the ''Cracked'' contributors would also work on these titles. A number of monster-themed issues were printed under the ''Cracked'' umbrella, capitalizing on such publications as ''Fangoria'' and ''Famous Monsters of Filmland''. Sproul published ''Cracked'' into the 1980s.
However, even as the company chased publishing trends, its long-running flagship title was ''Cracked Magazine''—or ''Cracked Mazagine'', as its cover often read, deliberately misspelling "magazine". (In the same vein, the magazine's website Cracked.com originally referred to itself as a "wesbite.")
