It includes classic articles, cartoons, parodies, and humor pieces that defined the magazine's irreverent and boundary-pushing style, making it a cornerstone collection for fans of the era's satirical comedy. Published jointly by Twenty First Century, Heavy Metal, and National Lampoon, this anthology captures the peak of the magazine's cultural influence.
"Tarzan of the Cows" is a satirical twist on mythic destiny, where Jehovah’s attempt to repeat the Jesus story takes a bizarre turn when Bennie David becomes the Son-o'-God after an accidental exclamation. Written by Sean Kelly and illustrated with sharp, expressive detail by Neal Adams, this standout story from the National Lampoon Tenth Anniversary Anthology blends absurdist humor with a surreal take on divine selection. The cover by Neal Adams complements the story’s irreverent tone, making it a memorable entry in the anthology’s 1979 collection.
In a satirical twist on divine selection, Jehovah presides over a celestial meeting where the gods debate who’ll pick the next Messiah—only for the role to fall to him again. When Jehovah reenacts the Jesus story, the moment of divinity strikes Bennie David not through prophecy, but when he blurts out "Jesus Christ!" in frustration.
