The 40 Years of Comics Project - Day 1495: National Lampoon v.1 #72, March 1976


Some fun comics in today's issue, though I am looking forward to getting back to traditional comics. I feel bad flipping past all of the articles in this magazine. I only like it for the pictures ;D.

The "Turtle Farms of South America Expose," illustrated by Frank Springer is pretty hilarious. The real gem, however, is a full-colour "Trots and Bonnie," in which Bonnie gets quite naughty. This isn't the first full-colour, multi-page TnB I've seen, and they're always a welcome treat. I've been kicking around getting the collected edition. Perhaps when I've got a job.

The other content was quite excellent - the bar for comics in National Lampoon is pretty high, to be honest. There's some Spain, Gahan Wilson, and the usual ridiculous photo stories.
