“Third World Thrills; New Guinea Pig”

"Third World Thrills; New Guinea Pig" is a surreal, deadpan comic strip from National Lampoon Magazine #28 (1972), where Chicken Gutz counts flowers on a hill while a bird perched on his head recites the opening of the radio show "Grand Central Station." Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Randall Enos, the piece blends absurdist humor with a stark, minimalist style. The cover, by Michael Gross, features a striking, stylized image that captures the magazine’s signature satirical edge.
