Description
This is a parody of Cracked Magazine, Cracked Collector's issue No.9, "Cracked Strikes It Rich With Sagebrush", with a cover price of .50 cents.
This is "Appropriation Art", or at least it's my version of it. It's a tribute to my youth, and the time I spent reading trashy magazines. They were damn good trashy magazines though!
My collection is paltry, not much to brag about, and certainly not impressive by any standard what so ever. I've poured over these magazines too many times to remember, and I was often too young to understand many of the subtle references that were scattered throughout the pages. When I page through these old magazines, I'm often surprised at the humor, it's often far too sophisticated for who I was back when these came out.
Still, I enjoyed them quite a bit, and all these years later, they still make me smile.
They have no real value as collectors issues, so I use them today as best I can, making art from their old dusty covers, and maybe helping to keep them alive for another young collector, just in a different form. -YoPedro
