National Lampoon Foto Funnies

National Lampoon Foto Funnies (1980–1986) was a short-lived, photo-comic series that blended satirical humor with live-action photography, published by Twenty First Century, Heavy Metal, and National Lampoon. Spanning just two issues, this oddball entry in the National Lampoon universe used posed photographs and word balloons to deliver its punchlines, a format rarely seen in mainstream comics. While no single artist is credited across the run—the medium itself being photographic—the series stands as a quirky artifact of early-80s humor, capturing the era’s experimental edge in visual storytelling.
