I think I'll see how I'm feeling when I hit #213. The only thing stopping me from stretching on is that I'm not 100% sure what I own after #212. I have #106-#212. And...<br /><br />I bored myself writing all those numbers. Suffice it to say, I'll decide when I get there.<br /><br />Thanks again for the nice words. It's nice to know that someone is reading and enjoying.<br /><br />Have a great day.<br /><br />"Pierre L."Turbot's Finesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448072615244695417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37537508.post-15310462659745750602010-08-23T22:26:58.933-07:002010-08-23T22:26:58.933-07:00I really love your Cracked magazine reviews. I'...I really love your Cracked magazine reviews. I'm a humor magazine collector and I have all the Cracked magazines you are reviewing so I am very familiar with the features. Like you, I grew up reading the magazine. As such, I would implore you to consider not stopping your reviews at issue #212, and rather, continuing on. I understand why you are stopping there, but you might find that you like the later Cracked magazines much more that you thought. I have collected all of the issues from 1985 to the last issue in 2004 (most of which I hadn't read as a child, I initially stopped reading in 1991), and enjoyed almost all of them, possibly even more than the '70's and early '80's issues that I grew up with (although they are classics). This being said, #213 and #214 are two of the worst issues ever published since Paul Laikin intially took over the editorship and rehashed his old jokes and concepts from decades ago. However, starting with issue #215, approximately half of each issue is great while the other half stinks, because Mort Todd began to take over the magazine. Around issue #218 or so when Mort took over the full editorship (as Michael Delle-Feminie or something like that), the magazine underwent a complete revitalization and I think the issues of 1986 to 1990, under his leadership, may have been the best ever. He brought back some of the old features, kept the best things about the magazine, and introduced new elements which were fantastic. He pretty much eliminated the dull Mad-like elements and really made a fresh new humor magazine. Anyway, I would hate to see this blog end just before you get to my favorite issues, and also because I love reading your take on things. I get out my old magazines and actually go through the articles with you in the reviews. Your fan, TomVeniceBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831624205020827276noreply@blogger.com
