Issue #362 debuted mine and Scott Gosar's brief stint as editors of this iconic magazine and the last of CRACKED as the humor magazine we all grew up reading. After just 4 issues the magazine was sold and sat idly for over a year before hitting the stands as a slick cross between the Onion/Daily Show/Maxim. Needless to say it only lasted 3 issues and then promptly died, only to live on as a website.
Initially this issue was to have come out in October of '03 during the California gubernatorial elections, hence Arnold Schwarzenegar appearing on the cover alongside (ironically) Michael Jackson.
This picture was taken at a Media Play in Atlanta. It was certainly a consistent thrill for me to see the mag on the shelves alongside MAD, Heavy Metal etc... at Publix, Kroger, Wal Mart, Comic Stores and many many more locations nationwide.
