Another issue of
Crazy which, although possibly unfunny as many have suggested, is a time capsule into how the world was , in this case,
September 1977.
After the deceptively realistic cover of the cast of
Welcome Back, Kotter from
Bob Larkin comes the interior content. There's actually not a parody of the show on the inside and this was probably used to cash in on the show's popularity:

The upper right corner of the letters page always had their mascot carrying a sign with a slogan. Funny how this one mentions imitators as the magazine was the most imitative of all the
Mad competitors.

Parody of the sitcom
One Day at a Time from
Kent Gamble. I planned to post this a few weeks ago, but I swear, there's no
Magic Whistle curse that
kills off celebrities.

I was hesitant about posting this, which would never fly today, but in the 70s I guess they were considered a “safe stereotype”. I decided to post it for journalistic purposes, though I doubt the creators put this on their resumé.
Alan Kupperberg
Sam Viviano.
Tony Tallarico

Parody of
The Gong Show drawn by
David Wenzel
