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.

One of my favorite cartoonists ever.

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

My favorite was a guy getting to an elevator.
That had teeth.

In my long ago collegiate career, this was posted on the Astronomy Dept. bulletin board. The professors got a laugh out of it too. Yes, that was years ago.

I remember one of his costumes with a little kid or toddler looking in the toilet and seeing the toilet monster.

Iconic.

Loved his sense of humor...I bet compendiums of his work appear and the price goes up for a bit.

The one I laughed at was the shadow of a pterodactyl carrying off a guy and a woman below is frantically waving arm yelling “George! George! Drop the keys!”

I knew a few women with that mindset.
