National Lampoon Magazine #3/1986
"A Tale of Modern Romance: I Found Mr. Right" is a sharp, offbeat comic strip from the 1986 issue of National Lampoon Magazine, written and illustrated by Charlie Rodrigues in a singular, self-contained style. When a billionaire’s wife reaches out to Sam DeGroot—the only private detective confined to an iron lung—she sets off a tense, high-stakes game of secrecy and romance, all drawn with Rodrigues’ distinctive, deadpan flair. The cover by Charlie Rodrigues captures the story’s blend of absurdity and suspense in a single, memorable image.
