A "Worried" Alfred?


I was given this original art by ex- CRACKED magazine owner/CEO Dick Kulpa during the time that I was involved with the magazine. As you can see Dick is an accomplished artist in his own right. One of the things he would do to promote CRACKED is attend various Comic Book Conventions and set up a booth with product while also doing caricatures. This item was one of his samples.
Incidentally Dick Kulpa was editor at Weekly World news when they acquired "The Globe Newspaper" and all its subsidiaries (including CRACKED magazine) back in 2000. Dick ended up as editor until he bought CRACKED. I am currently writing a piece for The Journal of MADness on this subject. There is also a book in the works on the history of CRACKED coming out next year. More to come...
