“Old Love Stories”

"Old Love Stories" in National Lampoon Magazine #54 (1974) finds Arnold Kismiass and Irma Gophuque navigating the absurdity of their names, which seem to sabotage every interaction. At a party, their mutual reaction to each other’s name mirrors the awkwardness they’ve faced all their lives—humor rooted in identity and miscommunication. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Ed Subitzky, the story is a sharp, self-contained satire with a distinctive voice. The cover, by Wayne McLoughlin, captures the tone with its deadpan visual wit.
