National Lampoon Magazine #46

"Attack of the Sizeable Beasts" is a standout story from National Lampoon Magazine #46 (1974), a 75-cent comic that blends dark humor with surreal chaos. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered entirely by Charlie Rodrigues, the tale follows Alex, a man in a coffin, as his doctor and funeral home director scheme to turn his death into a spectacle—only to be interrupted by an unexpected, violent intrusion from the artist himself. The cover, by Dick Frank, captures the issue’s irreverent tone with its sharp, satirical flair.
