Natl. Lampoon readers from the 70s. Remember "Trixie Dixie"?
A comic strip portraying Nixon and his staff as Gay, all dressed in costume (Harlequin, Torreador),? Does anyone have a link with that strip in it? I googled but came up empty.

1. That was a great magazine, even if P.J. O'Rourke was involved.
My mother almost threw me out of the house when I received the "Son-Of-God Comics" edition.

And then there was "Foreigners around the world," probably the text Cheney used for teaching Bush how to conduct foreign policy.

4. O'Rourke was good then.
He, Tony Hendra, the late great Doug Kenney, Matty Simmons. They were quite a group. It was a great mag, with many memorable covers. Remember Nose to the grindstone? Buy this magazine or I'll shoot this dog? And etc.

I still remember the title of one article on how to succeed in business: Give Good Head and Get Ahead Good.

It was a classic.

5. The "Strange Sex" issue with the wedding cake showing a groom
and I believe it was a sheep.

2. Thought it was Dixie Nixon but I remember;it was a hoot.
Recall Dixie first setting eyes on John Dean and saying enthusiastically, "He's gorgeous!!",or something like that.

3. That may be right. It was over 30 years ago.
I wish that there was a site that has the old NL stories and comics.

Anyone remember the story about the teenage girl who woke up one morning with a PENIS? Her experiences with trying to hide it in gym class and her sudden attraction to her best girlfriend.

I miss the old National Lampoon and its cynical look at the world and the hypocrisies of those times.

6. I read them..................
remember them? Those were the seventies my friend. I remember very little until after 1977. The early seventies were and remain an extremely nebulous period in my life.

7. So you also had FUN during the early 70's.
So did I, killing a lot of brain cells and listening to a lot of great music.
