☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Zippy's Guide to Sex, Death, and Between-Meal Snacks," Ron Barrett delivers a delightfully absurd tale of transformation: Barton Krude, after a bizarre accident involving a truck and a box of radioactive handkerchiefs, undergoes a radical shift from rude to rule-enforcing, becoming the unlikely superhero Politenessman. With every detail drawn, inked, colored, and lettered by Barrett himself, this 1984 issue from National Lampoon Magazine blends surreal humor with a satirical edge, all wrapped in a cover by Ron Barrett that perfectly captures its manic energy.
In this quirky 1984 gem from National Lampoon Magazine, Trots, Bonnie, and Pepsi show up at a wedding with high expectations for chaos—but the ceremony takes a turn they didn’t see coming. With their usual antics on standby, the trio finds themselves caught off guard by how things unfold.
Barton Krude, a man on a mission to be as rude as possible, takes a bizarre turn when a truck crash spills a box of radioactive handkerchiefs on his head—transforming his gruff demeanor into a crusade for courtesy. Now known as Politenessman, he patrols the streets with a strict code of manners and a flair for the dramatic.
In a quiet moment at Aunt Mary’s favorite diner, the familiar cast of the strip is briefly spotlighted—each one a familiar face in a world that’s just a little off-kilter. Then, without warning, a flying saucer descends outside, cutting through the usual lunchtime routine.
