That's "makenumb, p.u."! "magnumb, p.u." can be found here. ;)

That's great, though! I've never seen the "makenumb, p.u." one before! Thanks!

Yeah well I only ever bought one issue of CRAZY when I was a kid. It was vastly inferior to MAD and CRACKED. :) Still, I'm happy to contribute to all things Magnum P.I. (and P.U.!)

Well, after reading through it, I can honestly say that "magnumb, p.u." is much better than "makenumb, p.u."! And you're right, MAD magazine is much better than Crazy!

There was a mean-spirited tone to Crazy that Mad and Cracked never had; and on top of that, Crazy just wasn't funny! Are you going to upload "Makenumb, P.U." to the site?

Funny. I've never even heard of Crazy Magazine - and I'm the right demographic. Artwork is pretty good, but the humour misses the mark. The Mad writers actually seem like fans poking fun at something they enjoy. These guys seem like they actually don't like the show at all (as if that were possible for any human being!).
