Begun in 1958, CRACKED achieved a niche as the most dogged and durable of MAD's copycat competitors, long outlasting all the others. CRACKED shamelessly aped MAD's layouts and subject matter, even to the point of featuring a dumb, wide-jowled mascot with a middle initial named Sylvester P. Smythe on its covers (see Alfred E. Neuman). The Smythe character is CRACKED's "janitor."
