National Lampoon Magazine #53
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"S. D., the Super Deplorable" is a delightfully absurd short story from National Lampoon Magazine #53, a 1982 satire where an underworld boss, shot in a restaurant, attempts to identify his assassins by spelling out a message in pasta—only to be interrupted by the relentlessly courteous Politenessman. Written and illustrated by Ron Barrett, this single-issue gem showcases his distinctive, deadpan humor and surreal art style, all on a cover by Barrett that perfectly captures the issue’s offbeat tone.
In a 1982 issue of National Lampoon Magazine, the absurd humor of "null" unfolds when a mob boss, shot in a restaurant, attempts to identify his assailants by scribbling a message in pasta—only to be interrupted by the inexplicably polite Politenessman, who insists on proper dining etiquette.
