Sylvester P. Smythe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sylvester P. Smythe was Cracked magazine's imitation of Alfred E. Neuman, the mascot of Mad Magazine. Smythe generally appeared on every cover of the magazine, and was portrayed as a short, blond, dumb, wide-jowled idiot. Smythe's official occupation was janitor for Cracked; thus, he typically appeared in overalls, carrying a mop or sweeper. He sometimes had a smiley button on his cap, and a polka-dotted handkercheif stuffed into a hip pocket.
