National Lampoon Magazine — November 1975 (Work Issue)
National Lampoon Magazine — November 1975 (Work Issue)
The November 1975 "Work" issue of National Lampoon arrives with one of the most viscerally striking covers in the magazine's history: a man biting down on a circular saw blade, blood at the corners of his mouth, grimacing through the pain. It's labor as punishment. Work as violence. The Lampoon understood the assignment.
The cover text is itself a comedic inventory of the American working experience — layoffs, picket lines, dues, scabs, goons, finks, forklifts, lockouts, sweatshops, black lung, boilermakers, the Wobblies, Johnny Friendly, and the company store. Every grievance, every indignity, catalogued with deadpan precision.
Released in the thick of post-Vietnam, post-Watergate economic anxiety, this issue hit differently. A powerful artifact of American labor culture and 1970s satire at its most unsparing. Bagged and boarded.
