The June 1964 issue of Cracked. Another cover by John Severin.
After a parody of Tareyton ads, a letters column showing Steve Allen reading Cracked and a statement of ownership (138,463), is Sylvester for President. On the bottom are Lyndon B. Johnson and Barry M. Goldwater. The Romney mentioned here is George Romney, father of Mitt (remember him?)
Also by Severin was Losers Can Be Choosers.
Bill Ward takes a look at Transylvanian TV.

Another thing by Orehek called The Truth Behind Press Agents' Items and this ad for Fangman's Whiskey.
