National Lampoon Magazine #58
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Donny & Marie in Real Gone Hawaiian Goon!", M. K. Brown delivers a delightfully absurd slice of 1983 satire, where a seemingly ordinary TV repairman’s visit takes a surreal turn when Aunt Mary calls the police in alarm. With Brown handling every aspect of the art, inking, and lettering, the story unfolds with deadpan humor and a perfectly timed punchline that leaves Aunt Mary blissfully back in front of her soap operas.
In this darkly comic one-pager from National Lampoon Magazine #58, a barfly insists that Joe—long thought dead—is alive, drunk, and hiding in her hotel room. Ray, determined to settle the matter, storms in uninvited—just as she’s battling a particularly nasty case of herpes.
When Aunt Mary calls the police, fearing the strange TV repairman might be up to no good, the situation takes a turn no one expects—just as help is on the way, the repairman finishes his job, hands her the bill, and vanishes. Now she can enjoy her soap operas in peace, though the moment lingers in the air like a punchline waiting to land.
