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!

I started with “Mad Magazine” when I was in elementary school in the ‘50’s and graduated to “National Lampoon” in the ‘70’s. I think my warped sense of humor developed early on. Who can ever forget “JFK’s First 6,000 Days” and “Dog Fishing in America”?
