In its early days, Crazy had a dark edge to its parodies. For example, in its ongoing parodies of TV commercials, the character based on Mr. Whipple gunned down the housewives who squeezed the "Charming." But the early Crazy also had a more innocent side too, such as its ongoing history of the world, but with moose instead of people.

Crazy originally featured a short, bug-eyed mascot with a large black hat and draped in a black cape, who was called Irving Nebbish. Later in Crazy's run, he was replaced with the belligerent Obnoxio the Clown. Many of the features involved reoccurring characters such as: "The Kinetic Kids" (where when you flipped the two pages they were on back and forth an illusion of motion was created), The Teen Hulk (a teenager who becomes a Hulk-like character played for laughs), Retread Funnies (classic Marvel Comics stories presented with new dialogue) amongst others. What it did not have was Marvel's traditional comic artists and writers, and so eventually became marginalized by the Marvel fanbase. Obnoxio the Clown was the mascot of the Marvel Comics humor magazine Crazy (magazine). ...
