National Lampoon Magazine — July 1974 (Dessert Issue)
National Lampoon Magazine — July 1974 (Dessert Issue)
The July 1974 "Dessert" issue of National Lampoon is one of the most provocative covers in the magazine's history — a clay sculpture of a starving child with a cookie balanced on its head, set against a deep red background. Brutal, uncomfortable, and entirely intentional.
Inside: Doggie-Wogs Pet Food, Famine Circle Magazine, and Corporate Farmers' Almanac — a sustained satirical assault on American food politics and global indifference at a moment when famine was front-page news. The Lampoon didn't look away.
A genuinely difficult and important issue from the magazine's creative peak. Not for the faint of heart — exactly as intended. Bagged and boarded.
