I love this old National Lampoon strip! But, neither Amazon nor B&N has any collections available; or even listed. Shary Flenniken, the cartoonist, is really talented. Anybody know where I can find a collection of her stuff? 😕 ---

I could Xerox some of my old copies for you. I liked “Nuts”, “Politenessman” and “The Appletons” and the one about the wizard in the hat too. ---

There are lots of them in book collections of women’s humor (e.g. Pulling Our Own Strings or Women’s Glib). They do have other cartoonists and humorists in those books, though. ---

The only place I have seen them, besides in my National Lampoon magazines, is in the National Lampoon’s Cartoon books. I’ve got a couple of these, and each of them has two or three _Bonnie & Trots_ comic strips. The only problem is that they’re from the late eighties. If you try and get them through [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com), you won’t find them. I would suggest going to used books/comics stores and looking for them or for old National Lampoon magazine. ---

Thanks tc, I bow to your superior knowledge. 😉 I feel more than a little stupid, at this point. But instead of shuffling off sheepishly, I’ll just go and change my sig line. Thanks again tc. ---

Also, it’s “we’ll NEED plastic surgery”, not NED. Back to the original post. Have you looked in “National Lampoon’s Truly Tasteless Cartoons”? Or “That’s Sick! National Lampoon’s Rudest and Crudest Cartoons.” Or “The National Lampoon Treasury of Humor”? ---

Thanks for reminding me of how much I liked that comic! I hope there is a collection out there. I don’t know why, but I always liked the Dog best. ---
