A memorable part of my childhood.
When I was a very young teen in the early 1980s I stumbled across a box filled with a collection of then decade-old National Lampoon magazines that my parents stashed away. A few dozen. They became treasured possessions . I read them until they were dog-eared and falling apart. Some great writers back then! I learned a lot about America (and certainly didn't mind the occasional nudity). Gahan Wilson's macabre comics featured prominently in every issue.
Those old magazines would travel with me to college where the collection would slowly dwindle down and would eventually be lost to history. Today, not one remains.
RIP Gahan, you twisted dude!

He was certainly weird. I always looked at his cartoons when I saw them. I can’t say I was a fan, but he certainly had his own style in his illustrations.

Playboy in the ‘70’s. (sigh). It was okay to be a heterosexual man back then. I am not saying that it was wholesome and pure, but, we reveled in the high art form of attractive women then. Now we have to scurry around in the shadows.

Both Gahan Wilson and Gary Larson (The Far Side) were geniuses.
RIP Gahan and thanks for decades of laughter ...
