National Lampoon Magazine #66

In "Adenoidal College of Very Liberal Arts," a surreal satire from National Lampoon Magazine #66, a disgraced bureaucrat named Weatherby finds himself exiled to the mail room after a bizarre incident involving crab lice and the I.R.S.—only to unleash chaos on a much larger scale through the outgoing mail. Written by Steve Miller and illustrated by Gary Gruber, this absurdist tale blends deadpan humor with escalating absurdity, all rendered in the signature style of the era’s underground comics. The cover, by Bernie Lettick, captures the story’s offbeat tone with a sharp, cartoonish flair.
