National Lampoon Magazine #v2#67
In "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.
