One of the many MAD magazine imitators was Marvel's CRAZY. It was first introduced as an Atlas comic with a cover date of December 1953 lasting for 7 issues and revived briefly in 1973.
The title went to a full-size magazine later in 1973 and included a mascot by the name of "The Nebbish", a Yiddish term for a weak and ineffectual person. After a few issues he was renamed Irving Nebbish and later replaced by Obnoxio the Clown. Nebbish had a passing resemblance to CRACKED's Sylvester P. Smythe.
This King Kong parody appeared in issue #19 (August 1976). The cover is by Bob Larkin. The script is by Len Herman with art by Ernie Colon, alternated Kong's image between a cartoon character and one that was a faithful rendering of the original from the 1932 film.
CRAZY's last issue was #94 with a cover date of April 1983.
