“Gook Times”

"Gook Times" in Crazy Magazine #16 (1976) delivers a wry, period-accurate gag centered on a Dust Bowl-era family frustrated by a flat tire that keeps them from buying the latest issue—ironic, given the comic’s own 1976 release. The satire lands with a dry chuckle, anchored by a mock-photo layout and a tongue-in-cheek call to subscribe from Stan Lee. The cover, a vibrant collaboration by Marie Severin and Nick Cardy, captures the era’s flair with bold inks and expressive detail.
