Here's a rare occasion where the cover's not by John Severin. This time it's by John Duillo.
“What's up front?”, the contents page asks, then they answer themselves:
For our next sensational act, we proudly present SYLVESTER P. SMYTHE and his cage of cunning, snarling cats. The lions and tigers are so savage, they can even rip the New York City Telephone Directory apart! For many years, Sylvester has dreamed of becoming a lion tamer. He started of small; training fleas and chickens He gradually worked his way up to parakeets and large puppy dogs. And now his day for the big test, THE HOUR OF TRUTH, has arrived! Use the chair, Sylvester! Use the chair! Ooops! The tiger has just broken the chair, and is using it for a toothpick!
I always wondered it his name was pronounced “Smith” or “Smīth”.




I'm not sure who drew this two-pager.



The obligatory comics spoof written by George Gladir and drawn by Bill Hoest.


Gag cartoons from Oscar Blotta, not to be confused with his son, another Crackedcontributor Oskar Blotta.

I don't know why the punchline was upside-down, but I flipped it because I know you can't turn your screen upside-down.

From If Colleges Advertised.


Next Wednesday: Cracked #69.
