Sylvester P. Smythe was Cracked magazine's mascot, appearing in every issue and on virtually every cover. He was typically portrayed as short, blond, wide-cheeked and mute. He was seen by some as an imitation of Alfred E. Neuman, the mascot of Mad magazine. While there were similarities, Smythe was more than just an image, being portrayed as the janitor for Cracked and interacting with the magazine's other characters, such as Nanny Dickering and even the publisher, Robert C. Sproul. In the 1980s, he gained a look-a-like girlfriend, Eva.
