National Lampoon Frank Frazetta covers
One of the best satire magazines to ever come out, National Lampoon was a ground-breaking American humor magazine started in 1970,
originally as a spinoff of the Harvard Lampoon, it features art in many issues by top comic artists. The magazine reached its height of popularity
and critical acclaim during the mid-to-late 1970s, when it had a far-reaching effect on American humor. The magazine also spawned films, radio,
live theatre, various kinds of recordings, and books.
Many members of the creative staff from the magazine subsequently went on to contribute creatively to successful films, television shows, books
and other media forms

In this issue - Tarzan of the Cows - The greatest of all the parody comics is this Tarzan parody by O'Donoghue/Springer. Suppose that young
Greystoke had been lost in a farm instead of a jungle. It could happen. Raised by cows, Tarzan learns the languages of the livestock and grows
to be the strong defender of the farm family. The best line I have ever read is Tarzan's response to Mrs. Kleckley, the farmer's wife, after saving
them from the gang of giant groundhogs ("Ooga-Booga"). Mrs. Kleckley said: "How will we ever thank you?" and Tarzan's reply is: "You let
Tarzan graze on north forty?" The ten-page comic book parody includes the obligatory comic book ad for a "Special Forces Assault Outfit" that
includes nerve gas and landmines that Junior can use to combat those pesky adults in his house.
