National Lampoon — April 1978 • Spring Cleaning (Vintage & Found)
Vintage & Found · The Foundry
Mid-era Lampoon at its most absurd.
National Lampoon, April 1978. Theme: Spring Cleaning. The cover photograph shows a young girl in a colorful jacket and blue skirt, arms raised, being completely engulfed by an enormous sheepdog mid-shake — a blizzard of fur and suds filling the frame. The image is chaotic, joyful, and perfectly timed. It’s the kind of cover that works without a single word of explanation.
April 1978 is solidly mid-era Lampoon — the magazine was still producing inventive, well-crafted covers with genuine photographic ambition. Bagged in a protective sleeve. Cover price $1.25.
