National Lampoon — "Mcnfer" Peace & War Political Collage Illustration, Framed (11x15)

A framed original full-page illustration from National Lampoon — a large-format political collage signed Mcnfer. The composition is dense and Chagall-influenced: two faces in profile confronting each other across a field of fractured color — one pale and bespectacled, one green — with a weeping dove carrying an olive branch in the upper left, a gunman shooting a falling figure in the mid-ground, burning domes in the upper right, and a fistful of dollar bills pressed between the figures. The palette is vivid — reds, blues, greens, yellows — and the draftsmanship is painterly and assured. Professionally framed in black with glass, 11x15 inches. Ready to hang.

Mcnfer's illustration style draws directly from the European modernist tradition — Chagall, Grosz, and the political poster artists of the 1930s — applied to the Lampoon's American satirical context. The result is one of the more genuinely artistic pieces to appear in the magazine's run: a work that functions as fine art as much as editorial illustration. Signed originals from named Lampoon illustrators are rare in the collector market.
