National Lampoon Magazine #71
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Am I Re-Elected Yet?", M. K. Brown crafts a surreal, deadpan satire where alien observers silently document everyday life in a mundane city—right down to Aunt Mary’s sudden decision not to get lunch and her quiet resolve to drive home. With every role handled by Brown himself, from writing and art to inking and lettering, the story’s dry humor and offbeat tone are as consistent as the aliens’ unblinking gaze.
In this brief, deadpan satire from *National Lampoon Magazine* #71 (1984), alien observers beam down on a mundane city, capturing every detail—including Aunt Mary’s sudden decision to skip lunch and head home. The story’s humor lies in the absurd contrast between cosmic surveillance and the quiet, unremarkable choices of everyday life.
