National Lampoon Magazine — February 1973 (Sexual Frustration Issue)
National Lampoon Magazine — February 1973 (Sexual Frustration Issue)
February 1973. National Lampoon at full stride.
This is the "Sexual Frustration" issue — one of the most visually arresting covers in the magazine's run. The illustration by Willardson features a classic pin-up scene rendered in the overripe, satirical style that defined Lampoon's early-70s peak. Cover lines include Porno for Women, The Palma Sutra, and Piddle, The First Sex Paper for Kids — the kind of absurdist provocation that made National Lampoon the sharpest, most dangerous humor publication in America.
National Lampoon launched in 1970 out of Harvard and spent the next decade rewriting what comedy could be. This issue is from that golden era — before the TV specials, before the movies, when the magazine itself was the whole thing.
Stored in a protective sleeve. A genuine artifact of American satire at its most unfiltered.
