Framed in black with glass, 8.5x11 inches. Ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSean Kelly was one of the Lampoon's most prolific and sharp-edged writers, contributing to the magazine from its earliest years through the 1980s. Gerald Sussman was a longtime editor and writer whose work defined the magazine's late-period voice. By 1983, the Lampoon had shifted from pure absurdism toward something closer to cultural criticism — and \"Babylon Is Fallen\" sits at that intersection: genuinely funny, genuinely informed, and genuinely angry about what Hollywood had become. It reads today as both comedy and media history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA named-byline Lampoon editorial piece from the magazine's final significant era.
