Addendum to the Review of Issue #137

The Richie Cunningham / Fonz Solution

I loved this page from CRACKED #137 (page 22) so much that I thought I'd present it in full. I'll list "The Problem" followed by "The Richie Cunningham Solution" and then "The Fonz Solution". I typed it out exactly as it appears in the magazine so there are one or two odd bits of punctuation.

Unfortunately, the magazine does not say who wrote the article.
