National Lampoon Got Comics!

Yup, one of the things I loved about the good ole National Lampoon mag (along with the sophomoric nudge-nudge "dirty" humor) was the general references to pop culture.

For the purposes of today's post, that's Superman culture, kiddies!

The above is from the August 1981 issue.  But the next one is even better!

The genius of this little news blurb from the May 1981 NatLamp is the spot-on DC lore, and the demented idea of applying Kandor to this silly photo.

Bravo!  See you on Monday.

  

Lotsa Spirits Around Here

This is from the March 23, 1971 Look magazine.

I cadged this article because of the lovely photos of mysterious ruins.  It’s interesting that the typography of the opening text omits several periods at the end of sentences, as well as leaving the “I”s undotted.  Captions on ensuing pages often, but not always, omit periods too.

Before you ask, I don’t know where the last page is, which would have contained the rest of the dark yard of Jerpoint Abbey.

See ya Thursday!
