Titles P to T / Re: Squa Tront series

Last post by 50Cent #II (1st print) - November 25, 2008, 10:22:49 PM

I came across a Nation Lampoon special issue today that has Spain, Shelton and some other in the back of it.  Can remember the issue, but the pic. on the cover shows a girl in a museum looking at cartoon art and she's wearing cut off daisy duke jean shorts.

I took a look at one of my copies, and the cover price is one British pound (or quid if you prefer). I don't have that key on my keyboard....

I came across this on ebay and thought that ya'll might like to take a look.

It's new (2008), and appears to be a tabloid. Not sure if it's from an art show or something like that. Here is a link to see the entire thing:   http://www.pointdironie.com/

Titles P to T / Re: Squa Tront series

Was it the parody of missing children on milk cartons?  Or something like that....I have a copy of that parody, and I think it was produced for something else but ended up in an issue of NatLamp, but I can't remember the whole story...I can't tell you which issue it is though you might try "Mark's Very Large National Lampoon" site and query there!

Anyone know which March or April issue of National Lampoon has R. Crumb work in it?

What year of NatLamp are you referring to here? There was a parody of Crumb in the "Is Nothing Sacred?" issue from January 1972, drawn by Randall Enos. Randall has an amusing website at http://www.randallenos.com/. Crumb himself thought this parody was "okay", but said that they should have let HIM draw it. Then there was another issue with a parody of the cover of Cheap Thrills and that was drawn by Christopher Browne. Christopher has since inherited the art chores on his late father's comic strip Hagar The Horrible. Then there was a parody of Zap in NatLamp's Very Large Book Of Comical Funnies in which Ted Richards took on Mr. Natural, Dave Sheridan did excellent parodies of Robert Williams, Moscoso and Rick Griffin while Spain and S.Clay Wilson satirized themselves in a strip called "The Checker Trashman" and Willy Murphy did a great job on the Freak Bros. So this Zap parody was an "inside job" so to speak, since the whole thing was drawn by prominent UG artists, as was the case with Bijou #8. Unlike the Bijou, however, "SAP COSMICS NO NO." featured VERY precise renditions of the artists being satirized, which I thought was quite an impressive feat. I've never run into an issue of NatLamp that had real R. Crumb work in it. But I haven't seen every issue either. If you could give me a year in addition to the months that you listed, I could research this further.
As for Squa Tront, I went over to my shelf where they are stored and saw that #11 was the only issue I was missing. It's an easy one to find though. There. More information than you probably wanted to know.

Shit you know that we don't / 1973 panel discussion

Last post by jaylynch - October 25, 2008, 02:34:31 PM

Western Illinois University held their first panel discussion on political cartoons in l973.  Now this news item sez they will hold their SECOND discussion on political cartoons next week.  http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/departments/syndicates/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003877801
         As I recall...the discussion we had 35 years ago was kind of wild.  I won't be at the second discussion. But perhaps they will play a video tape of the first discussion there.  Anyway...if any of you kats are in the geographical area of this event, it might be worth checking out.
