=== Trivia for the magazine: ===
* [[Executive Meddling]]: What brought the mag down. Tabloid owner [[Meaningful Name|Dick]] Kulpa bought the mag, and as a cost-cutting measure, turned most artists' and writers' pays to flat-rate instead of by page. As a result, many veteran writers/artists left, such as Walter Brogan and John Severin. Kulpa was literally running the mag from his kitchen table, plastering it with tabloid-like covers, constantly delaying releases, and overall ruining the mag through his lack of experience.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: ''Mad'' stalwart Don Martin crossed over in the 1990s after leaving ''Mad'' over a salary dispute, with ''Cracked'' making a big deal about stealing away one of their rival's most iconic cartoonists. He is hardly the only artist or writer to have worked at both magazines; long-standing ''Cracked'' artist John Severin also worked with ''Mad'' in its comic days. Also, one of the last new talents to join ''Cracked'' in the 1990s was Tom Richmond, who now draws a large amount of the ''Mad'' movie and TV parodies. Other ''Mad'' personnel who once worked with the rival include Jack Davis and Al Jaffee.
