National Lampoon Magazine — September 1976 (The Latest Issue)
National Lampoon Magazine — September 1976 (The Latest Issue)
The September 1976 issue of National Lampoon announces itself with the most straightforward headline imaginable: THE LATEST ISSUE. That's the joke. The cover delivers the rest: a gleeful, no-hands boy on a bicycle — "Camp" bag on his hip, dog bounding alongside — while suburban chaos erupts behind him. A car crash. Kids scattering. Smoke rising in the distance. He doesn't notice any of it.
It's a richly painted Norman Rockwell-style illustration that captures the last days of summer with the Lampoon's characteristic mix of warmth and mayhem. The boy is having the time of his life. Everything behind him is falling apart. Classic.
Bagged and boarded, solid condition. A visually joyful and technically accomplished cover from the magazine's mid-run. Sold as-is.
