THE DORKS OF HAZZARDOUS (part 2)

DUKES OF HAZZARD
1979-1985 CBS

Yesterday I posted a bunch of different parodies of Dukes of Hazzard from different magazines. Click on "older post" at the bottom if you missed that and to see what the characters' names were. I said yesterday I didn't have time or enough room to get to all of them, so here are three more, all from Cracked.

Sorry in advance for apologizing for the Confederate flag and the trigger it may set off, it's just that a very small minority of people can't tell the difference between showing something and endorsing it.

THE DORKS OF HAZZARDOUS
Cracked #179, August 1981
a: John Severin
The same issue parodied the Popeye movie but didn't combine the two things like they usually do.

They did five parodies in total. That was the third. The first one was posted yesterday, The second was a crossover with CHiPS that I posted a couple months ago with the parodies of that show. Here's the fourth one.

NIGHT RIDER MEETS THE DUKES OF HAZZARDOUS
Cracked #196, August 1983
a: John Severin

Always parodying shows repeatedly and crossing them over with other shows, they did a mash-up with Knight Rider, a program about Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) and his intelligent car.

In the next to last season, Bo and Luke left the show to be NASCAR drivers, and were replaced by cousins Coy and Vance (Byron Cherry and Christopher Mayer). They returned, probably due to the actors renegotiating their contracts.
From If TV Shows Were Combined in Cracked #205, August 1984. Mike Wallace and Morley Safer were the hosts of Sixty Minutes.
UPDATE:
From cover to Mexican edition.
UPDATE 2:

THE DUPES OF HAZZARD
Bananas #65, c. 1983

a: Sam Viviano

Viviano always liked to put himself in his strips. Here he is in the splash panel.
In the first panel are Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae, hosts of their own rural venue.
From Isn't It Time That... in Bananas Looks at TV, c. 1981, probably reprinted from an earlier issue.
From The Last Episode Of... in Bananas #48.

  1. At the end of the Bananas parody, the EPA man is Ralph Nader.
